A progressive overview of the mainstream additive manufacturing of ceramic components for industrial advancement

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM), well-known as 3D printing, has revolutionized traditional manufacturing methods, particularly in the production of ceramic components. These techniques offer unique advantages and challenges in ceramic component production. Developing specific ceramic materials with AM improves the finished products' mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics. Integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning shows promise in improving process control and design optimization, spurring innovation and opening previously unimaginable possibilities, although problems such as material shrinkage, microstructural control, and surface polish remain crucial research areas. This review article presents a comprehensive overview of the advancements and applications of AM for ceramic pieces in the industrial sector. This study highlights the fundamental principles of AM, focusing on their difficulties and potential in ceramic fabrication. A comprehensive review of AM will deliver an understanding of its ability to alter industrial manufacturing and open the door to a new era of ceramic fabrication and applications.
