What is Lithoz Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) Technology

Powered by Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology, Lithoz’s industry-oriented 3D printers are the answer to the reliable serial production of additively manufactured ceramics. Our CeraFab System fulfills even the highest requirements of high-performance ceramics. Mechanical performance, dimensional accuracy and the reproducibility of ceramic parts have been tested to meet and exceed conventional ceramic methods.

The Process

3D CAD-Model

Step 1: 3D CAD-Model

Starting with a CAD model, the first step in the process is work preparation and design optimization. The information for the print job is digitally transferred directly from your computer to the CeraFab 3D printer.

3D Printing

Step 2: 3D-Print

The ceramic-loaded liquid (slurry) is automatically dispensed and applied to a transparent vat. The movable build platform is dipped into the slurry from above, which is then selectively exposed to visible blue light from below the tub. The layered image is produced via a digital micromirror device (DMD) in combination with a state-of-the-art projection system. By repeating this process, a three-dimensional green part can be created layer by layer.
Debinding and Sintering

Step 3: Debinding and Sintering

After thermal post-processing, the binder is removed and the components are sintered, resulting in fully dense ceramic components with excellent mechanical properties and surface qualities.
Finished Component

Step 4: Finished Component

Once debinding and sintering is complete, the finished part is ready for use.

Case Study

Highly Sophisticated Heat Exchanger

Heat exchangers made of ceramics excel in terms of resistance to high-temperature gradients and chemical influences. However, the performance of such devices is mostly limited by the design constrictions derived from conventional manufacturing and joining processes. Using additive manufacturing provides a solution for the design of a heat exchanger, which combines increased functionality by also lowering the manufacturing efforts required.
