TY - CONF A1 - Zocca, Andrea A1 - Schubert, Hendrik A1 - Günster, Jens T1 - Additive Manufacturing of advanced ceramics by layerwise slurry deposition and binder jetting (LSD-print) N2 - Powder bed technologies are amongst the most successful Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Powder bed fusion and binder jetting especially are leading AM technologies for metals and polymers, thanks to their high productivity and scalability. The application of these techniques to most ceramics has been difficult so far, because of the challenges related to the deposition of homogeneous powder layers when using fine powders. In this context, the "layerwise slurry deposition" (LSD) has been developed as a layer deposition method which enables the use of powder bed AM technologies also for advanced ceramic materials. The layerwise slurry deposition consists of the layer-by-layer deposition of a ceramic slurry by means of a doctor blade, in which the slurry is deposited and dried to achieve a highly packed powder layer. This offers high flexibility in the ceramic feedstock used, especially concerning material and particle size. The LSD technology can be combined with binder jetting to develop the so-called “LSDprint” process for the additive manufacturing of ceramics. The LSDprint technology combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics with properties comparable to those achieved by traditional processing. In this presentation, the LSD process will be introduced and several examples of application ranging from silicate to high-performance ceramics will be shown. Recent developments towards the scale-up and industrialization of this process will be discussed, alongside future perspectives for the multi-material additive manufacturing.

The possibility to individualize patient specific design and to establish new efficient workflows, from model generation to manufacturing, can be fully exploited by AM technologies. However, for mass customization to be truly envisioned, ceramic AM needs to achieve a level of maturity, aesthetic quality, and productivity comparable to established manufacturing processes. In this presentation, the potential of the “layerwise slurry deposition” LSD-print technology for dental applications will be explored. It has been shown in the past years that the LSD-print can be applied to advanced ceramic materials such as alumina and silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide. For these materials, the LSD-print technology combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics. The current development deals with the challenges of applying this technology to a feldspar dental material, comparing the quality of AM restorations with the equivalent material for an established CAD/CAM workflow. Preliminary results not only indicate that the AM material produced by LSD-print can be competitive in terms of mechanical properties, but also that aesthetically satisfactory restorations can be manufactured for veneers, inlays and onlays as well as single unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). The presentation focuses on the material and technological challenges alongside the process chain, from the printing process, to debinding, firing and finishing the restorations.

Das Laserpulverauftragschweißen (LPA) wurde anfangs hauptsächlich als Beschichtungsverfahren eingesetzt. Diese Technologie bewerkstelligt aber auch das Reparieren von verschlissenen Bauteilen, sodass diese zeitsparend und ressourcenschonend erneuert werden können. Die hohe Aufbaurate, die flexible Pulverzusammensetzung sowie die hohe Endkonturnähe ermöglichen die Entwicklung und additive Fertigung von neuen Materialien. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages wurde das Verfahren des Laserpulverauftragschweißens zur additiven Fertigung von Nickel-Titan-Formgedächtnislegierungen angewandt. Diese Legierungsgruppe ist aufgrund der Eigenschaft der Gestalterinnerung ein äußerst interessantes Legierungssystem mit unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbereichen, wie zum Beispiel in der Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik sowie in der Medizintechnik. Zur Erzeugung einer äquiatomaren NiTi-Legierung wurden die Elementpulver in einem Verhältnis von 55,9 wt.% Nickel und 44,1 wt.% Titan miteinander vermischt. Das Auftragen von Einzelspuren, Schichten und dreidimensionalen Körpern erfolgte auf unterschiedlichen Substratplatten aus Titan-, Nickel- und Nickeltitanlegierungen. Die metallographischen Untersuchungen zeigten, dass sich in Abhängigkeit des Substratmaterials unterschiedliche Phasen ausbilden und Risse vom Substrat durch den additiven Aufbau auftreten. Bei mehrlagigem Aufbau kam es sogar zur Ablösung des additiven Aufbaus von der Substratplatte. Der artgleiche additive Aufbau, sprich NiTi-Legierung auf einem NiTi-Substrat (Ni50,8Ti49,2 in at.%), führte zur keiner Materialablösung. Das Gefüge sowie die Phasenzusammensetzungen bieten in diesem Bereich noch viel Forschungsbedarf. T2 - 39.

In particular, quantitative image analysis, statistical approaches, direct discretization of tomographic reconstructions represent concrete possibilities to extend the power of the tomographic 3D representation to insights into the material and component performance. This logic thread equally holds for industrial and academic research, and valorizes expensive experiments such as those carried out at synchrotron sources, which cannot be daily repeated. I will show a few examples of possible use of X-ray tomographic data for quantitative assessment of damage evolution and microstructural properties, as well as for non-destructive testing. Examples of micro-structured inhomogeneous materials will be given, such as Composites, Ceramics, Concrete, and Additively manufactured parts. I will also show how X-ray refraction computed tomography (CT) can be highly complementary to classic absorption CT, being sensitive to internal interfaces. Additionally, I will present a new technique in our portfolio, Neutron Diffraction, which is extremely well suited to the study of internal stresses, both residual and under external load.

The “Layerwise Slurry Deposition” (LSD-print) is a modification of Binder Jetting making use of a ceramic slurry instead of a dry powder as a feedstock. In this process, a slurry is deposited layer-by-layer by means of a doctor blade and dried to achieve a highly packed powder layer, which is then printed by jetting a binder. The LSD-print technology combines the high-speed printing of binder jetting with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics with properties comparable to those achieved by traditional processing. The Laser Induced Slip casting (LIS) technology follows a novel working principle by locally drying and selectively consolidating layer-by-layer a ceramic green body in a vat of slurry, using a laser as energy source. LIS combines elements of Vat Photopolymerization with the use of water-based feedstocks containing a minimal amount of organic additives. The resulting technology can be directly integrated into a traditional ceramic process chain by manufacturing green bodies that are sintered without the need of a dedicated debinding. Both technologies offer high flexibility in the ceramic feedstock used, especially concerning material and particle size. Advantages and disadvantages are briefly described to outline the specific features of LSD-print and LIS depending on the targeted application.
