3D Printing with SiSiC Silicon Carbide

Maximum flexibility, time and cost savings with the highest product quality: 3D printing technology enables enormous increases in efficiency and quality in numerous industries and applications. The unique material properties of silicon carbide (SiSiC) also enable impressive design freedom combined with very high stability.

Convince yourself of the advantages of additive manufacturing with SiSiC: realisation from batch size 1, short delivery times and competent advice - from the initial idea to the finished product.

Design freedom

Experience complete design freedom with silicon carbide, a unique material in one of the most innovative manufacturing processes of our time: 3D printing. Create form and function parts with us in lightweight construction because only necessary elements are built up in the component. Get the finished part faster, without time-consuming and cost-intensive processing steps such as green part machining, milling or joining, and leverage further cost reduction potential through part optimization.

With material thicknesses from 2 mm to 35 mm and hole diameters from 2 mm on, you have a wide range of design options.

Flexibility and Reliability

CeramTec has succeeded in optimizing the material properties of additively manufactured SiSiC components in such a way that the material characteristics correspond to conventionally manufactured components except for a few percentage points. The use of fine silicon carbide powder enables free structures and demanding surface finishes.

The very high hardness combined with the temperature and chemical resistance withstand the most demanding operating conditions. The 10% lower density than metal, together with the reduced material usage in the additive process, results in low component weights.
