Register for the America Makes TRX Webinar, “Printing the Right Parts: Application-driven Design for Ceramic Additive Manufacturing,” on March 26 from 1-2 p.m. ET. The team from Adva Cera to include Hugh Roberts, President, Dustin Williams; Vice President of Business Development; and Adriana Joyce, Research & Development Engineer, will explore how additive manufacturing is reshaping what’s possible in technical ceramics and how to design the right part for your application.
Additive manufacturing technology for ceramics has historically lacked the maturity and investment opportunity that metals and polymers have, but recent advancements in the field are enabling the production of ceramic components at larger scales. Adva Cera is a Colorado-based service provider of additively manufactured technical ceramics that collaborates with customers to adapt designs for 3D printing at prototype- and production-scale quantities.
This webinar will focus on the vat photopolymerization method of digital light processing (DLP). DLP is notable for its expansive design freedom, short layer times, and high-resolution printing, capable of producing complex features that were previously unachievable through traditional ceramic manufacturing. Some of these features (i.e., lattices and complex internal features) may be leveraged to make ceramic components lighter, more efficient, and more functional than their subtractive made counterparts – if they even exist.
This webinar delves into some fundamental rules of design for ceramic DLP printing, looking at features found in thermal management and filtration components to highlight design best practices. Learn about achievable features, support requirements, and critical faces, as well as how to minimize stress and defects during thermal post-processing.
