About this product
The 3DCeram C101 EASY LAB is a compact, open-parameter ceramic SLA printer built for research centers, universities and material-development teams — a 3.9 × 3.9 × 5.9 in / 100 × 100 × 150 mm platform that starts a print from as little as 60 mL of ceramic. Develop your own process, then scale the exact same technology up to 3DCeram production systems. Additive Plus supports the full print → debind → sinter workflow around it.
Why R&D teams choose the C101 EASY LAB
A genuine development platform — open parameters, minimal material, fast turnaround.
Develop your own process
Open parameters give you full control of the print — laser, exposure and layering — to qualify new ceramics and formulations, not just run pre-set recipes.
Print from 60 mL of ceramic
Start a build with just 60 mL of paste — or 10 mL with the Small-Amount-of-Material (SAM) option. Precious experimental ceramics go further per trial.
Change ceramic in 20 minutes
The platform is built for fast maintenance and cleaning between prints — about 20 minutes on the same ceramic, 40 minutes when switching to a different slurry.
Lab today, fab tomorrow
A hybrid option is available, and the C101 shares its process with 3DCeram’s production systems — so a recipe proven here scales up without re-qualifying from scratch.
Print → debind → sinter: the full ceramic workflow
A printed ceramic is a “green” part, not a finished one. The C101 is step one of three — and Additive Plus supports all three.
Step 01
Print the green part
The UV laser cures ceramic-loaded paste layer by layer, 0.010–0.125 mm at a time, into a dense green body on the 100 × 100 × 150 mm platform.
Step 02
Debind
The green part is cleaned of unpolymerised paste and thermally debound to remove the organic binder — in air or nitrogen — leaving a fragile all-ceramic body.
Step 03
Sinter to full density
Sintering fuses the ceramic to near-full density. The part shrinks roughly 15–20% linearly, so shrinkage is compensated in CAD up front. We share validated cycles per material.
Materials & compatible ceramics
The C101 EASY LAB runs 3DCeram’s technical-ceramic pastes and is designed to help you qualify new ones. Each ceramic family targets a different property set — mechanical, thermal, electrical or biomedical. Additive Plus helps match the ceramic to your part and shares the matching debind/sinter schedule.

We qualified two new zirconia formulations on the C101 before committing to production tooling — exactly the machine we needed.

★★★★★
Starting a print from 60 mL means we don't burn a liter of experimental ceramic per trial. Huge for a funded project.

Common questions

What makes the C101 EASY LAB an "open" platform?
The C101 EASY LAB gives you open control of the print parameters — laser, exposure and layering — rather than locking you to fixed vendor recipes. That is what makes it a development machine: you can qualify new ceramics and formulations, tune the process for a specific part, and record exactly what you did. Additive Plus supports that work with open-parameter guidance and debind/sinter cycles.
What post-processing is required after printing on the C101 EASY LAB?
A part printed on the C101 EASY LAB is a "green" body, not a finished ceramic. Two steps follow: debinding removes the organic binder (in air or nitrogen), then sintering fuses the ceramic to near-full density. Additive Plus supplies the validated debind and sinter schedule for each ceramic and can supply the furnaces, so you develop against a complete workflow rather than just a printer.
How little ceramic can I start a print with?
The C101 EASY LAB starts a build from as little as 60 mL of ceramic paste, or 10 mL with the Small-Amount-of-Material (SAM) option. That is a deliberate design choice for R&D: experimental and precious ceramics are expensive, and small starting volumes let you run more trials per batch of material. It is one of the main reasons research teams choose this machine.
How quickly can I switch between ceramics?
The C101 EASY LAB platform is built for fast maintenance and cleaning between prints — about 20 minutes when staying on the same ceramic and about 40 minutes when switching to a different slurry. Quick changeover matters in a development lab that runs several ceramics in a week, because it keeps the machine productive between experiments rather than idle for cleaning.
Can I scale a process developed on the C101 to production?
Yes — that is the point of the C101 EASY LAB. It shares its ceramic SLA process with 3DCeram's larger production systems such as the C1000 FLEXMATIC, so a recipe you prove here transfers up without re-qualifying from scratch. Additive Plus helps map the scale-up path so your development work carries straight into serial production.
What is the build volume and layer thickness?
The C101 EASY LAB has a 100 × 100 × 150 mm (3.9 × 3.9 × 5.9 in) build platform and prints layers from 0.010 to 0.125 mm using a UV laser at 405 nm with a ~60 µm spot. The compact platform suits development parts and test coupons, while the fine spot resolves the detail you need to evaluate a ceramic and its process honestly.
What is the linear shrinkage after sintering?
Sintered parts shrink roughly 15–20% linearly, depending on the ceramic and packing density. Shrinkage is predictable and repeatable, so it is compensated in CAD before printing — the green part is scaled up so the sintered part lands on target. On a development machine like the C101 EASY LAB, characterising that shrinkage factor for a new ceramic is often part of the work Additive Plus helps with.
Can Additive Plus print a paid sample before I buy?
Yes. Before committing to a C101 EASY LAB, you can send your part and target ceramic and Additive Plus will print, debind and sinter a paid sample so you validate density, accuracy and surface for your application. For a development purchase it is the lowest-risk way to confirm the platform fits your research — talk to a ceramics engineer to scope it.
