Ceramic 3D printing is an emerging segment within the 3D printing industry that began its commercial journey in the past 10 years. Compared to polymer and metal 3D printing, ceramic 3D printing is young. However, increasing entrants into the field in the past few years, from major ceramics companies to small 3D printing start-ups, illustrate that interest in ceramic additive manufacturing is picking up.
 
In this technical report from IDTechEx, ceramic 3D printing is comprehensively analysed to provide the current status of and outlook for the industry. Based on numerous primary interviews and IDTechEx's historical data on additive manufacturing, the report provides extensive technology benchmarking, material summaries, major player overviews, and target applications for ceramic 3D printing.
 
 
Benchmarking ceramic printer technologies and materials
 
In the 3D printing industry, it is not uncommon for the important details about new technologies to become overshadowed by hype and media attention. For ceramic 3D printing, this means headlines about how a new ceramic printer will "change the 3D printing industry" or "revolutionize" a given field like medicine. In this report, IDTechEx cuts through the marketing language to get to the heart of the technologies dominating the ceramic additive manufacturing market. Along with detailed overviews of each individual printing process, the major technologies are compared by several key parameters: build volume, build speed, material compatibility, resolution, and more. By providing impartial benchmarking of these technologies, IDTechEx will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each process for their end-users.

The ceramics available for 3D printing are key to expanding the potential applications and markets that ceramic 3D printing could establish itself in. While less expensive oxide ceramics (like zirconia and alumina) are currently the most popular ceramic 3D printing materials, non-oxide ceramics (like silicon carbide and silicon nitride) for high-performance and high-value applications are growing in popularity. In this report, the ceramics available for 3D printing are identified with their manufacturers and key materials properties after printing being comprehensively analysed. These materials are then benchmarked by their mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties to compare their performance against each other and against ceramics manufactured traditionally. In addition, perspectives on new materials trends in ceramic 3D printing - from multi-material/hybrid 3D printing to ceramic matrix composite printing - are presented to give readers a future outlook on the ceramics for the 3D printing market.
 
 
Key applications: where ceramic 3D printing is gaining market traction
 
Ceramic 3D printing has been used primarily for research & development and prototypes, but it is seeing increasing interest from sectors looking for ceramic tooling and small-batch parts. This includes high-value sectors such as investment casting for aerospace & defence, chemical engineering, and dentistry. While the latter sector has great potential there is no commercial usage as of yet. The former sectors are seeing increasing commercial uptake; they represent ceramic additive manufacturing's best opportunities for high-value industry penetration. That said, there is still room for growth in R&D-related sales, as there is a large number of international research institutes working on progressing ceramic 3D printing in interesting applications like energy storage, medical devices, and carbon capture.
