Alumina and zirconia 3Y are both used in technical ceramic 3D printing, but they fit different engineering priorities. Alumina is lighter and offers higher stiffness, hardness, thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity. Zirconia 3Y has much higher reported flexural strength and is used in selected space, dental and other demanding applications. The right choice depends on the finished part, its service environment and the qualified manufacturing process. 3DCeram develops and processes […]
