Description

This book provides a comprehensive review of advances in processing ceramic-based materials with complex geometries using additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technologies. AM enables the integration of material and geometric design, allowing for tailored performance, reduced production time and lower costs. Despite notable progress, challenges remain, particularly in improving dimensional accuracy and surface finish, due to the layer-by-layer processing characteristics. The book explores various practical AM techniques, offering detailed discussions on their strengths and limitations.
