Additive manufacturing technologies help print a three-dimensional (3D) object from a digital file using materials such as plastics, metals, and ceramics. Ceramics are a category of non-metallic inorganic compounds that exhibit high strength, brittleness, melting point, and thermal & electric insulation. These materials are broadly classified into two types: oxides and non-oxides. They come in the forms of powder, liquid (resin), and filament. Powdered and liquid ceramics are mainly used for industrial purposes, while filaments are used by hobbyists and artists. 3D printing ceramics has a wide range of applications, such as thermal insulation in the aerospace industry, body armor in the defense industry, bone and dental implants in the healthcare industry, fuel cells and shock absorbers in the automobile industry, and others, including jewelry, pumps, and refractories.
