“…Ceramic parts can be produced by a variety of AM technologies [5], choosing one of them for a given application should consider their strengths, weaknesses, and commercial availability of equipment and feedstock. Although research into ceramic 3D printing by all technologies started back in the 90s [7][8][9][10][11][12], its industrial application is still quite restricted when compared to polymers and metals [6,13,14]. The widespread of ceramic AM depends on technological availability [15].…”

“…The widespread of ceramic AM depends on technological availability [15]. Thus, proper feedstock [13] and equipment [15] availability have been an issue. Moreover, many technologies present high-priced raw materials, and their supply is linked to the equipment supplier.…”

“…For ceramic AM, multi-step processes are the most common. Additives and binders are used to create a green body that is subsequently treated for debinding (to eliminate the organics) and sintered (to increase density) [5,13,18]. The debinding is a critical step to successfully obtaining the ceramic parts and the heating rates must be suitable to avoid cracks and/ or delamination [5,19,20].…”

“…However, ceramic materials have a high melting point and limited thermal shock resistance [6,14]. Thus, thermal gradients, an intrinsic feature of these technologies, are generated by inducing thermal stresses, which induce delamination and cracks [6,13,14]. Accordingly, their application is still restricted to research, not much development has been achieved [1], and no dedicated system is commercially available.…”

Ceramic additive manufacturing allows the fabrication of small series of complex parts without the high costs of molds usually associated with traditional ceramic processing. Although research into ceramic 3D printing by all technologies started back in the 90s, its industrial application is still quite restricted when compared to polymers and metals, which is related to the limited availability and costs of equipment and materials for such applications. This review examined the advantages and limitations of each process (binder jetting, direct ink writing, directed energy deposition, fused deposition, material jetting, selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, and vat photopolymerization), discussing their particularities. It also summarized the commercially available 3D printers and raw materials for ceramic processing, pointing out to trends and challenges of each technology.

“…One of the most commonly used material groups nowadays is ceramic, next to other engineering materials such as polymers, metals, composites, and alloys [7][8][9]. It has great resistance to high temperatures and chemical agents, good dielectricity and insulation, high hardness, and fire resistance.…”

What Makes a Floor Slippery? A Brief Experimental Study of Ceramic Tiles Slip Resistance Depending on Their Properties and Surface Conditions

et al. 2021

The safety of the use of construction facilities should be a priority in today’s busy world, where it is not difficult to get involved in an accident. Most of them, due to the pace at which we live today, are caused by slips, trips, and falls. This work presents a detailed analysis of the resistance of ceramic floors to these events, taking into account the surface properties and conditions (dry/wet), which, as presented, have a significant impact on the final slip resistance values. This study also investigates the relationship between surface roughness and anti-slip properties. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that the surface roughness is not the main determinant of slip resistance, and the final value of it is influenced by many components that should be considered together and not be neglected when designing the surface finish. Furthermore, based on experimental measurements, it can be noted that the highest slip resistance in both wet and dry conditions showed the unglazed tiles with lapatto finish and the glazed tiles without any extra finish.
