Ceramics@PoliTO

  • 3D PRINTING

Digital Light Processing (DPL) of technical ceramics

  • Highly-complex geometries
  • Superior surface finishing
  • No molds required
  • Quick building times
  • High reproducibility
With DLP, we aim at proving the feasibility of developing complex ceramic components, with unprecedented architectures

Materials under development

  • Al2O3, ZrO2 and their composites
  • Hydroxyapatite
  • Calcium phosphates
  • Mullite
  • Functional ceramics (Titania, Zinc oxide, etc.)
  • Polymer/ceramic composites

Geometries

  • Dense pellets and bars
  • Simple lattice
  • TPMS
  • Stochastic geometries
  • Customized implants
  • Graded structures

Applications

  • Structural ceramics
  • Biomedical ceramics: scaffolds, dental implants, dental crowns
  • Environmental field: filtration, support for MOF growth and CO2 capture, sensing materials
