Manufactura aditiva en materiales cerámicos.

Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing technique in which material is added sequentially layer by layer in a controlled manner, the input material can be polymers, metallic or ceramic, offering changes in the operations of many companies. With this new technology, much more complex and customized shapes can be designed, prototypes can be obtained very quickly and their production design can be modified to customer specifications at no additional cost. This leads to simplifying the production of customized or changing products, eliminating many recruitment processes, reducing waste and rework costs, applying value to most businesses and generating profits. This article seeks to explore the evolution of additive manufacturing in ceramic materials, since it has become a very important material for the manufacturing industry, due to the fact that it is increasingly found in industrial sectors such as biomedicine, automotive and aerospace. This is due to its high hardness, mechanical strength at high temperatures, electrical and thermal insulating effect, etc.
