Field Assisted Processing of 3D Printed Ceramics

Fabrication of complex ceramic components involves multiple steps, often is labour & energy intensive. 3D printing of ceramics and their sintering through the application of external fields could pave the way for solving these issues. In this work, the combination of Additive Manufacturing (AM) along with Field Assisted Sintering Techniques (FAST) were employed to manufacture functional ceramics suitable for electronic, communication and healthcare sectors. This poster highlights some of the recent advances.
