High-Performance Ceramic Materials for Advanced 3D Printing Applications

Prodways Machines, in collaboration with Tethon 3D, offers specialized ceramic slurries optimized for use with MOVINGLight® DLP technology. These materials, including SILICA SICAST 1200 and ALUMINA PHOTX A100, are engineered to meet the requirements of high-performance manufacturing processes.

SILICA SICAST 1200 is a silica-based slurry designed for investment casting applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy. It provides thermal shock resistance and chemical dissolution, which are critical for complex casting processes. The material’s optimized green strength allows for the production of shell layers ranging from 50 to 100 microns, ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. SILICA SICAST 1200 is compatible with a wide range of alloys (excluding cobalt) and supports Single Crystal Cast processes, making it suitable for high-precision casting of components such as aerospace parts, engine components, and cores.

ALUMINA PHOTX A100 is a high-purity alumina resin that cures rapidly and is used in applications requiring high mechanical strength, hardness, and electrical resistivity. It is commonly used in electronics, RF technology, and biomedical sectors. PHOTX A100 provides wear resistance, thermal stability, and chemical inertness. With a layer thickness of approximately 50 μm and a minimum feature size of 0.150 mm, it is suitable for producing components such as semiconductor parts, medical implants, and industrial valves.
