3D Print

Based on nearly 40 years of experience formulating exceptional high temperature ceramic coatings, ZYP Coatings is proud to present its first line of ready-to-use ceramic pastes formulated for 3D printing. Prior to a commercial launch, the pastes were tested and implemented for 3D printing projects within the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The solvent-based pastes can be used in extrusion-based Paste Deposition Modeling (PDM) 3D printers, similar to desktop Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers used for polymers, except no heat is required. Once dry, parts printed with 3D Cer-Paste SC can be sintered in a standard fashion without warping or cracking. Depending on the sintering conditions, the resulting ceramic can possess low porosity, high resistance to corrosion and excellent wear resistance.

The solvent-based pastes can be used in extrusion-based Paste Deposition Modeling (PDM) 3D printers, similar to desktop Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers used for polymers, except no heat is required. Once dry, parts printed with 3D Cer-Paste ZRP can be sintered in air up to temperatures of 1500 C without warping or cracking. The resulting ceramic possesses low density, high resistance to corrosion and excellent thermal shock resistance. End uses that require insulation for fast heating and cooling would be ideal for ceramic parts printed with 3D Cer-Paste ZRP.

Based on nearly 40 years of experience formulating exceptional high temperature ceramic coatings,
ZYP Coatings is introducing a new Boron Nitride containing, solvent-based paste for 3D printing. This “3D Cer-Paste BN” is designed for use in extrusion based Paste Deposition Modeling (PDM) 3D printers, similar to desktop Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers used for polymers, except no heat is required. Once dry, parts printed with 3D Cer-Paste BN can be bonded in a standard fashion without warping or cracking. The resulting ceramic body has very little shrinkage, thus maintaining its shape and size as printed. The nonwetting/nonsticking properties of Boron Nitride are also maintained in the ceramic piece.
