Do you have any of these issues in ceramics 3D printing?
- You want to try 3D printing for shapes that cannot be manufactured using existing manufacturing methods (machining, casting, etc.).
- You want to leave everything from material selection, shape design, printing, sintering, and mass production to ceramics professionals.
- You want to make prototypes in ceramics 3D printing as the existing manufacturing methods require high initial costs (molds and jigs) and delivery times.
Your problems can be solved by Mitsui Kinzoku’s advanced technology and expertise.
The latest Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology and Mitsui Kinzoku's sintering technology provide high-precision and high-definition products.
- The latest Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology enables high-precision and high-definition 3D printing .
- We provide ceramic sintered bodies that accurately reproduce the CAD drawings provided by our customers.
- We can fabricate complex hole shapes and threaded shapes that require accuracy in just a few microns.
Raw material and printing technology specialized in ceramic 3D printing
- High-definition printing can be achieved by the specialized slurry made by mixing ceramic powder and resin for 3D ceramic..
- Multiple identical shapes or multiple different shapes can be printed in a single printing run simultaneously.
- Adjustment to the appropriate shape for printing and supports for printing can be consulted upon request.
Sintering technology based on years experience and performance-based prevents cracking and deformation when sintering.
- By taking advantage of our sintering technologies (kiln furniture, furnaces, sintering conditions..) that Mitsui Kinzoku has cultivated over the years, complex 3D products can be fabricated without any cracks or deformation.
- The most suitable kiln furniture, furnace, sintering conditions are selected according to shape and materials to solve sintering problems.
- The use of Mitsui Kinzoku’s unique mesh setter (Ceramesh®), for example, improves air permeability and heat uniformity, and prevent cracks and deformation during sintering process.
