3DCeram ceramic stereolithography systems and 3DMIX pastes, supported end-to-end from our Los Angeles print lab.
A ceramic 3D printer from 3DCeram uses stereolithography (SLA): a laser cures a photosensitive ceramic paste one thin layer at a time to build a “green” part. That part is then cleaned, debinded and sintered into a fully dense technical ceramic. The result is a fired component with the same properties as conventionally processed ceramics — but in geometries that machining and molding cannot reach.
Ceramic additive manufacturing removes tooling and lets you print internal channels, lattices and thin walls in alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride and bioceramics. Surface roughness stays under 2 µm, and parts scale from a 100×100 mm lab platform up to the 600×600×300 mm C3601 for mass production.

Request a formulation →Ceramic SLA is a four-step workflow. We can supply the equipment for each stage — or run the whole thing for you as a service.
The SLA laser cures ceramic-loaded paste layer by layer into a green part — no support structures needed.
Uncured paste is removed from channels and cavities. The AUTO CERAKLEANER automates this for green parts.
Thermal debinding burns out the organic binder in a controlled atmosphere, leaving the ceramic skeleton.
High-temperature sintering fuses the ceramic to >99% density — the finished technical-ceramic part.

Automated cleaning for ceramic 3D-printed green parts — removes unpolymerized paste from complex geometries without hand-scrubbing, so serial production stays repeatable and hands-off.

Talk to an application engineer →Ceramic 3D printing builds parts from technical ceramics — such as alumina, zirconia or silicon nitride — layer by layer. On a 3DCeram system it uses stereolithography (SLA): a laser cures ceramic-loaded paste into a green part, which is then debinded and sintered into a fully dense fired ceramic.
A laser selectively cures a photosensitive ceramic paste one layer at a time to form the green part. The part is cleaned, the organic binder is removed by thermal debinding, and a high-temperature sintering step fuses the ceramic to over 99% density with a surface roughness below 2 µm.
Yes. 3DCeram systems scale from the C101 lab platform to the automated C1000 FLEXMATIC and quad-laser C3601 Ultimate for serial and mass production — using the same qualified material, so you don’t re-qualify when you scale up.
We stock 11+ qualified 3DMIX pastes: oxides (alumina, zirconia 3Y/8Y, ATZ, cordierite, silica) and non-oxides (silicon nitride, aluminium nitride), plus bioceramics (hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate). Custom formulations are available on request.
No. After sintering, a 3D-printed ceramic reaches the same density and mechanical properties as conventionally processed technical ceramics — it’s a fully fired part, not a fragile print. SLA just lets you make geometries machining can’t.
