Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the manufacturing of components with intricate shapes and a previously unattainable degree of optimization of their morphology. The versatility of AM techniques has revolutionized the ceramic industry, allowing for the creation of complex geometries and customized designs that were once impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods.
This paradigm shift has not only enhanced the performance of ceramic components but also expanded their potential applications across various sectors. In fact, AM has opened up several opportunities for employing different 3D printing processing technologies to manufacture ceramic parts to be used in advanced applications in fields ranging from energy to aerospace and defense, from automotive to constructions and healthcare. Furthermore, a transition from mere prototyping and lab-scale manufacturing to industrial-scale fabrication is currently occurring.
Despite significant advances in terms of equipment and feedstocks, more effort should still be devoted to further advancements in terms of materials, technologies and design. Moreover, issues of quality control and non-destructive characterization should also be considered, in order to enable further progress in the field. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the reliability, reproducibility, and overall performance of additively manufactured ceramic components, ultimately facilitating their wider adoption in critical applications across various industries.
This symposium aims at showcasing recent developments in all different aspects related to additive manufacturing of ceramic materials, including traditional, advanced, functional, bio-, high and ultrahigh-temperature ceramics, glasses and composites, and their applications. The event will bring together researchers, industry professionals, and experts to explore innovative techniques, discuss challenges, and share insights on the future of ceramic additive manufacturing in different sectors.
