DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that silicon carbide is perfect for thermal applications?

Silicon infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC) is a very light but also hard ceramic material and is therefore frequently used in engineering. In addition, it has very good thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, excellent chemical resistance and outstanding tribological properties. Because of these advantages, SiSiC ceramics are often used as heat exchangers or nozzles in the chemical industry, as end pieces for different types of burners or as supporting structures for precise optical setups.

Did you know that complete bone healing is possible thanks to ceramic 3D printing?

Critically sized bone defects can be the result of severe trauma or tumors. As the body is not able to heal the bone defect by itself, a dual approach is presented here with a shell of high-strength zirconia giving mechanical support during the healing phase. The inner volume of the implant is made either of bioresorbable beta-tricalcium phosphate (LithaBone TCP 300) or hydroxy apatite (LithaBone HA 400), which is resorbed and replaced by newly formed bone ensuring complete bone healing.

Did you know silicon nitride has antibacterial and antiviral properties?

It has been discovered that coronavirus can remain infectious for hours on several materials. One strategy against this is to develop materials with surface chemistries which can inactivate the virus. Silicon nitride (Si3N4), a material used in spine fusion surgery, is one such candidate because it has been shown to inactivate several bacterial species and viral strains, with one study finding evidence that contact with Si3N4 would inactivate SARS-CoV-2 while leaving mammalian cells unaffected.

Did you know that 3D printing of multiple materials is now possible?
Rapid development of additive manufacturing technologies allows for different materials to be printed simultaneously without the need for joining or assembly.
Multi-material 3D printing establishes the possibilities of manufacturing 3D parts with enhanced properties and altered material compositions and structures from one section of the component to another. This opens the door to numerous applications, in fields ranging from electronics and embedded sensors to biomedical implants and devices, as well as aerospace, automotive and energy storage systems.
Did you know that ceramic 3D printing enables production of highly complex vaccines?

Video

Many of the successful vaccines actually use viruses to deliver the necessary elements to get immune. Such viruses are expensive to produce, furthermore the purification of these viruses is also very expensive. Using ultra-high resolution ceramic 3D printing and applying a novel design for the manufacture of chromatographic columns (the most advanced purification technology), the Nessie research project makes it possible for the first time to produce highly complex vaccines in large quantities at low cost and shows that revolutionary technologies such as 3D printing can improve our healthcare system in a sustainable way.

Did you know that you can remote control the 3D printing process from your desk?

With the new CeraVision tool and set of features you can real-time monitor and control 3D printing process from remote via live-video transmission. Designed to increase the usability of the printers, you can stay productive and interact with the printers all day while working from your desk. Customers can also take advantage of their large production data volume with the new CeraDoc software module. The CeraDoc module fully documents production data for thorough traceability for an Industry 4.0 ready additive manufacturing process.

Lithoz laval nozzle silicon nitride - thermal shock

Video
The thermal shock resistance of the silicon nitride-based ceramics generated by LCM was investigated by water quenching from 800 °C to room temperature. Despite the high thermal stress, the 3D printed parts survived the test. The advantages of LCM technology, such as the ability to fabricate highly precise and complex ceramic parts, will entirely innovate the shaping of nonoxide ceramic materials in general and silicon nitride-based materials in particular.

Did you know that hollow #ceramics are possible with #lcm?

Hollowing can save material and decrease weight in bulky parts. But hollow, closed ceramics are a challenge to make by any method, and often involve creating a seam to join two halves. With LCM 3dprinters and careful post-processing, smooth single-piece hollow spheres are possible. Thin wall hollow structures can be reinforced with lattices for strong, light structures.

Did you know that ceramic 3D printing opens up new opportunities in manufacturing casting cores?

Turbine blades are traditionally manufactured by investment casting which begins with a ceramic core in the shape of internal cooling feature of the blade. Unfortunately, using traditional injection molded cores, the options of introducing multi-vane, complex and narrow cooling features are limited.
With the CeraFab System printer and specific materials such as LithaCore 450, the most recent casting core designs are produced while reducing lead-times and costs. Including those with complex branching structures and multiple layers of walls.

Silicon nitride dental implants

An exceptional combination of biocompatibility, antibacterial and high-mechanical performances. With 3D printing there are no limitations to where the milling burst can get into. 3D printing patient-specific dental implants and inner threads in large number and in a highly reproducible manner is now possible with the CeraFab 7500 Dental.
