3DCeram is a leading global provider of 3D printing for technical ceramics.

3DCeram offers a range of customized 3D printers for processing technical ceramics and develops both its own and customer-specific slurries (ceramic suspensions) that are optimally tailored to the respective application.

3DCeram's SLA-based 3D printing technology is used in particularly demanding industries such as aerospace, medical technology, manufacturing, and research institutions. In addition to Ceramaker printing systems, the company offers the entire process chain from a single source—from printing and debinding to sintering in its own furnace system.

C101 Easy Lab

The C101 EASY Lab is the smallest model in the 3DCeram product portfolio and has been specially designed for use in research and development. With an installation space of 100 × 100 × 150 mm, the printer is ideal for laboratory applications, material tests, material research, characterization and material testing.

Particularly noteworthy is the integrated SAM option (Small Amount of Material), which enables a material-friendly printing process - a decisive advantage in the development and testing of new ceramic materials. The print job can be started with as little as 10mL of slurry.

C101 Easy Fab

The C101 EASY Fab is similar to the EASY Lab in its basic configuration, but is specially designed to meet the requirements of industrial customers and manufacturing companies. It is ideal for the production of small series.

Like the EASY Lab, the EASY Fab also has an installation space of 100 × 100 × 150 mm. It is also equipped with an integrated slurry tank from which the material is automatically pumped to the printing platform - a decisive advantage for more efficient and reproducible production in an industrial environment.

C1000 Flexmatic

The C1000 FLEXMATIC is a powerful and reliable industrial ceramic 3D printer that has been specially developed for the requirements of high-volume production. With a generous build space of 320 × 320 × 200 mm, it offers sufficient capacity for larger components or for several parts in one printing process.

The entire printing process is monitored and controlled in real time to ensure consistently high component quality. Supported by AI-controlled process management, production efficiency is further increased. Depending on the configuration, the C1000 FLEXMATIC is equipped with one or two laser heads, which significantly reduces printing time and enables higher productivity - ideal for industrial applications with high throughput.

C3601 Ultimate

The C3601 Ultimate is one of the latest models in the 3DCeram portfolio and offers one of the largest build platforms available in the field of SLA 3D printing of technical ceramics - with an impressive build space of 600 × 600 × 300 mm. Equipped with four individually controllable laser heads, the C3601 Ultimate enables flexible adaptation of the printing process: the laser heads can work synchronously or independently of each other - depending on the application and geometry of the component. This significantly reduces the printing time without compromising on print quality.

The C3601 Ultimate was specially developed for users who demand high volume, maximum precision and maximum efficiency in the production of technical ceramics.

FAQ – Ceramic 3D Printing with SLA Technology | 3DCeram

What software and services does 3DCeram offer?

3DCeram supports the entire additive manufacturing workflow with software and services:

Software solutions:

  • Build-It (data preparation)
  • CPS 2.0 (process control)
  • CERIA (AI-powered optimization of the printing process)

Services:

  • Technical training (on-site or in Limoges)
  • Maintenance and Support
  • Process Optimization for Industrial Applications

The goal is an end-to-end process chain for efficient and reproducible 3D ceramic printing.

3DCeram offers scalable 3D printing systems for research, development, and industry:

  • C101 EASY LAB – Research & Development (laboratory environment)
  • C1000 FLEXMATIC – semi-automatic industrial manufacturing
  • C3601 ULTIMATE – large-format 3D printing for complex components
  • M.A.T. Extrusion System – Processing of alternative materials (e.g., black ceramics, metals)

The portfolio covers the entire process from development to industrial series production.

SLA-based ceramic 3D printing offers several key advantages:

  • High design freedom for complex geometries
  • Very high dimensional accuracy and surface quality
  • Reduced material loss compared to subtractive processes
  • Rapid implementation from prototypes to series production
  • Cost-effective production even for small batch sizes

3DCeram thus enables the efficient and sustainable production of high-performance ceramics.

Ceramic 3D printing is used in many high-tech industries:

  • Aerospace (e.g., satellite components, optical systems)
  • Medical technology (e.g., implants, bone replacements, intervertebral cages)
  • Electronics and semiconductor industry
  • Chemical and process industries
  • Foundry technology (e.g., ceramic cores for turbine blades)
  • Research & Development

3DCeram enables the production of complex geometries that cannot be manufactured using conventional methods.

3DCeram’s SLA technology can be used to process both oxide and non-oxide ceramics.

Oxide ceramics:

  • Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃)
  • Zirconia (ZrO₂)
  • Hydroxyapatite
  • Silicon dioxide

Non-oxide ceramics:

  • Aluminum nitride (AlN)
  • Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄)

All materials are specifically developed for ceramic 3D printing and are suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Ceramic 3D printing using the SLA (stereolithography) process is based on VAT photopolymerization (VPP). In this process, a liquid, light-sensitive resin is cured layer by layer using a UV laser.

After each layer, the build platform lowers by 25 to 125 µm, resulting in precise three-dimensional components.

3DCeram uses this SLA technology specifically for 3D printing of high-performance technical ceramics. In addition, extrusion technologies (filament, paste, and pellet extrusion) are also employed to enable flexible processing of a variety of materials.
