“

- [Speaker] 3D printing ceramics have been around for quite a while. Recently though, more types of 3D printable ceramic materials and printers for them have become available. In this movie, we'll review a few different technologies and some representative applications. There are many different types of ceramics fabricated in different ways. In traditional pottery, water in the clay binds together the clay particles. It's heated for a long time to remove the water, a process called debinding. It's then fired to cause changes in it's structure that make it very hard and non-porous. 3D printed ceramics use a similar process but their binders in the final step will be different. The debinding step first removes water, resin, or whatever binding material was used during printing. Materials that use water as a binder can use similar methods to cook it out. If the printer uses resin as a binder, chemical debinding might be…
