CeraFab System S65, a 3D printer for ceramic materials based on stereolithography (*v prijavnem obrazcu je bila vrednost 356.297,18, lastna sredstva v višini 55,8 %)

The equipment represents the most advanced technology in the additive manufacturing of ceramics and enables the printing of very thin functional layers as well as high-performance volumetric engineering ceramics with a unique resolution and geometric configuration. Litography based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) is a "bottom-up" technique of designing ceramic components, which are printed from a photosensitive suspension containing a high proportion of dry matter, i.e. powder of ceramic (nano)particles. An additional advantage of this method is the production of very complex components and prototypes, as it does not require the production of supporting structures as with other 3D printing techniques.

CeraFab S65 is state-of-the-art 3D printer for ceramic materialc. This type of equipment is very rare in Central Europe. The equipment will be available at the Department of Nanostructured Materials at IJS, more precisely, it will be located in the specially adopted room with yellow light, in the already existing laboratory of additive manufacturing technologies. This will place us among the most competitives groups in the wolrd and to netowkr/connect with the existing laboratories in Europe that specialize in additive manufacturing of (ceramic) materials.
