Overview

Ceramic and metal 3D printing applications

In areas where integrated designs and functional material structures are required to improve performance, the benefits of Additive Manufacturing are significant. Though complex design or restriction to a specific material does not always apply, 3D printing can be beneficial by means of cost reduction, waste minimization and time-saving. The future is looking bright with the expected increase to one-third of all businesses using 3D printing over the course of five years from now.

Advancing innovation in research and business

Research institutes and businesses are exploring the unrivaled potential of 3D printing ceramics and metals in the biomedical, energy, chemical, electronics, aerospace, automotive and jewelry sector.

Innovating research and development

Enabling scientific studies only possible by applying ceramic, supported with 3D printing technology.

Industry insight

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

The faculty of science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam studies Melt Inclusions in minerals to understand how continents and ocean islands in the ocean’s floor form. To enable this, the melts have to be in a homogeneous state, which is often not the case. VU Amsterdam has setup an experiment to apply a heating process to make study possible.
