Ceramic additive manufacturing is no longer limited to prototyping and is gradually establishing itself as an industrial production solution. Designed to meet stringent performance and reliability requirements, today’s ceramic AM processes now leverage advanced materials suited for demanding environments.
In this context, 3DCeram Sinto has announced that its C1000 FLEXMATIC is compatible with aluminum nitride (AlN) and silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), two technical ceramics recognized for their performance and used in particular in aerospace, semiconductors, and optics.
Based on the SLA process, the C1000 FLEXMATIC combines semi-automation and artificial intelligence to support mass production. Its print volume of 320 × 320 × 200 mm allows parts of various sizes to be manufactured with consistent precision. CERIA AI automatically generates optimized printing parameters, ensuring repeatable quality and reduced downtime, making the machine a reliable production tool for manufacturers.
