What is it about?
Using lithography, a 3D printing technique based on photopolymerization, it is possible to print ceramic objects with the same properties as ceramics parts made by usual means.

Why is it important?
This paper shows the possibility of fabricating ceramic objects made from alumina by an additive manufacturing process. This approach will open new opportunities in terms of manufacturing of high-performance ceramics, especially in the field of customized parts, small-scale series or highly complex objects.
Perspectives
This contribution presents a process for the printing of alumina ceramics that exhibit the same mechanical properties as conventionally formed ceramic parts. This technology is currently focusing on rather small but precise and accurate geometries.
