Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics (Zhangwei Chen)

Ceramic additive manufacturing from feedstock preparation through advanced industrial applications
 
Ceramic additive manufacturing demands specialized knowledge spanning material preparation, printing mechanisms, and post-processing. Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics: Fundamentals, Techniques, and Applications, edited by two internationally recognized ceramics researchers, assembles contributions from leading experts across the international community. The volume addresses each major AM technique with detailed coverage of energy-source-material interactions, debinding, and sintering specific to ceramic systems.
 
The book traces the origins and development history of each ceramic AM technique, then examines current processing knowledge from feedstock formulation through finished components. Case studies span aerospace, biomedicine, electronics, catalysis, and energy devices. Detailed discussion of printing mechanisms provides readers with the technical depth required to evaluate, optimize, and implement ceramic AM processes in research and production settings.
 
Readers will also find:
 
* Full coverage of the ceramic AM workflow including material preparation, printing parameters, debinding, and sintering for each technique
* Historical development and origins of individual ceramic additive manufacturing processes providing context for current technological advances
* Application-focused case studies in aerospace engineering, biomedical devices, electronics, catalysis, and energy storage systems
* Detailed analysis of energy-source-material interactions and printing mechanisms underlying each ceramic AM technique discussed
* Guidance relevant to both academic research programs and industrial production environments working with ceramic additive manufacturing
 
Designed for materials scientists, ceramics engineers, manufacturing engineers, and researchers in academia and industry, this reference delivers the processing knowledge and application insights needed to advance ceramic additive manufacturing from laboratory research through production-scale implementation across high-value sectors.
