Extremely hard, wear-resistant and resistant to high temperatures: with specific properties such as its insensitivity to acids and alkalis and its insulating effect when exposed to electrical currents, ceramic is a pioneering printing material that is becoming increasingly established in many industries. A development that will change tomorrow’s products forever and, in conjunction with additive manufacturing, will give you completely new capabilities.
voxeljet relies on the intelligent fusion of flexible additive manufacturing in the Universal Binder Jetting process with classic sintering technologies. For sustained optimization and increased efficiency across the entire value chain in the tool-free production of complex, 3D printed ceramic components. From prototyping to agile industrial series production. Together with you, we test and qualify your specific spectrum of ceramic materials such as aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, mixed oxides and also non-oxide ceramics such as silicon nitride in advance to ensure the optimum industrial applicability in our processes.
Additive hybrid manufacturing - opens new horizons in the production of complex or filigree ceramic parts
Optimize costs
Complex geometries and increasingly varied and smaller batch sizes. Wherever the conventional production of ceramic parts reaches its economic limits due to cost-intensive mold construction or changeover times, additive production processes offer essential economic advantages.
Produce on any scale
voxeljet has the world's largest and most powerful 3D printing systems for large ceramic components or large batches of small components. We overcome the limitations of conventional systems and processes when it comes to the large-scale or technical printing of 3D ceramics. With the ability to port production data of components across the entire voxeljet 3D printer family.
Accelerate Time to Market
By eliminating the need for tool and mold making, additive production processes shorten the manufacturing times of components by up to 75%. This includes the production of small and medium-sized series or in the manufacture of components with many variants. The 3D printing process also enables previously unthinkable geometries.
Overall, ceramics will continue to gain importance as a material in the future, and the same applies to 3D printing as a manufacturing technology. We are pleased to have embarked on this path together with voxeljet and look forward to further close cooperation.

Ceramic.Material.Process.
Our company is one of the pioneers of the first hour when it comes to establishing 3D production processes in professional or industrial environments. Our Binder Jetting machines, specially optimized for the ceramic sector, are among the best the market has to offer worldwide, especially when it comes to 3D ceramic printing services where volume, efficiency and speed in production are important.
Processes
Our ceramic processes are phenolic resin based processes (PDB) and water based (CDB) are optimal for the production of complex and filigree cores or molds.
Materials
With our ceramic processes, silicate (SiC) and oxide (AIO2, TiO2, ZrO2) based ceramics can be printed.
Post-processing
Post-processing can be done by drying or impregnation with subsequent sintering in an oven.
Webinar: Ceramic 3D printing
In this webinar we will be joined by two experts from AGCC and take you through the journey of tailoring a 3D printer for ceramics and material qualification.
With the voxeljet binder jetting process, ceramic structures in complex geometric structures with novel properties can be produced without tools. For example, light porous, bioactive ceramic structures.
