Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology, offering unparalleled opportunities for design freedom, material customization, and functional complexity. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments, challenges, and applications in ceramic AM, focusing on bridging the gap between innovation and industry adoption.

This Special Issue invites contributions covering a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Novel ceramic materials for AM, including oxides, nitrides, carbides, and composites, with tailored properties for specific applications.
  • Advanced ceramic AM processes, such as binder jetting, powder bed fusion, stereolithography, and material extrusion, highlighting process optimization, scalability, and repeatability.
  • Innovative design strategies and software tools.
  • Post-processing techniques for improving components.
  • Advanced characterization methodologies and applications in different sectors.
  • Environmental and sustainability considerations in ceramic AM, including material recycling, waste reduction, and energy efficiency.

Authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications that contribute to advancing the state of the art in ceramic AM. This Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, engineers, manufacturers, and end-users to accelerate the adoption of ceramic AM in real-world applications.

We investigated the impact of CaCO3 addition on the density and compressive strength of calcium aluminate cement (CAC)-based cementitious materials in binder jetting additive manufacturing (BJAM). To confirm the formation of a uniform powder bed, we examined the powder flowability and powder bed density for CaCO3 contents ranging from 0 to 20 wt.%. Specifically, powders with avalanche angles between 40.1–45.6° formed a uniform powder bed density with a standard deviation within 1%. Thus, a 3D printing specimen (green body) fabricated via BJAM exhibited dimensional accuracy of less than 1% across the entire plane. Additionally, we measured the hydration characteristics of CAC and the changes in compressive strength over 30 days with the addition of CaCO3. The results indicate that the addition of CaCO3 to CAC-based cementitious materials forms multimodal powders that enhance the density of both the powder bed and the green body. Furthermore, CaCO3 promotes the formation of highly crystalline monocarbonate (C4AcH11) and stable hydrate (C3AH6), effectively inhibiting the conversion of CAC and showing compressive strengths of up to 5.2 MPa. These findings suggest a strong potential for expanding the use of BJAM across various applications, including complex casting molds, cores, catalyst supports, and functional architectural interiors.
