Research on Stereolithography Additive Manufacturing Technology for Optimized Ceramic Tooling for Difficult-to-Machine Alloys (FASLATOOL)

Abstract The project explores the possibility of using additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramic materials to produce ceramic tools for metal cutting. Among other advantages, this concept aims to manufacture ceramic tools with optimized cutting geometries, provide them with customized texturing of the cutting surface, generate [...]

Process parameter optimization for alumina ceramic parts manufactured by fused deposition modelling

Abstract Ceramic materials are gaining relevance in Additive Manufacturing (AM), although the lack of standardized process parameters limits the repeatability and comparability of printed parts. This study proposes an optimization procedure for the fabrication of alumina (Al₂O₃) components using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) with a [...]
