Measured mechanical data

397 MPa 4-point bending strength at >3.9 g/cc density, 300 GPa modulus and 16.4 GPa Vickers hardness — datasheet numbers you can qualify against, not a vendor estimate.

The full ceramic workflow

Every order ships with the debinding and sintering parameters. Alumina is solid-state sintered, and shrinkage is compensated in build prep so the first part lands on dimension.

Why engineers choose this paste

A workhorse technical oxide: hard, wear-resistant and a proven electrical insulator at temperature.

397 MPa bending strength

4-point flexural strength at >3.9 g/cc density after sintering — a dependable structural oxide.

High electrical resistivity

Insulates at temperature with 23.3 W/m·K thermal conductivity — the standard choice for electronic and telecom parts.

16.4 GPa Vickers hardness

High hardness and good wear resistance for jigs, guides and abrasion-exposed components.

Chemically inert

Resists most acids, bases and molten media — suited to lab and process-hardware duty.

Print → debind → sinter

Ceramic stereolithography on the 3DCeram Ceramaker platform. The green part is larger than the finished part — shrinkage is compensated in build preparation.

Step 01
Laser SLA print

The ceramic-loaded paste is cured layer-by-layer on a 3DCeram Ceramaker laser-SLA machine into a green part.

Step 02
Debinding

The organic binder is removed in a controlled thermal cycle, leaving a fragile ceramic-only brown part.

Step 03
Sintering

Solid-state sintered to dense alumina (>3.9 g/cc), ~2.2 µm grain size and 300 GPa modulus.

Typical applications

Where hardness, insulation and chemical inertness matter more than toughness.

Electrical insulators
Substrates, feedthroughs, telecom hardware
Laboratory devices
Crucibles, wear surfaces, lab fixtures
Foundry cores
Complex ceramic cores for casting
Optical instruments
Dimensionally stable structural parts

Common questions

What is Alumina paste and how does it produce a ceramic part?
Alumina 3D Printing Paste is a 3DCeram ceramic feedstock — alumina (Al₂O₃) powder suspended in a photocurable binder. You print a green part layer-by-layer on the Ceramaker laser-SLA platform, then debind it to remove the binder and sinter it in a furnace to consolidate it into a dense oxide ceramic. The finished part reaches >3.9 g/cc and 397 MPa 4-point bending strength. Every order ships with the debind and sinter parameters so the first build reaches target density predictably.
Why does the printed part come out larger than my CAD model?
Ceramic AM always prints a green part that is larger than the finished component. During sintering the binder is gone and the ceramic particles fuse, so the part shrinks — typically on the order of 15–20% linear for oxide ceramics. That shrinkage is predictable and is compensated in build preparation, so your sintered alumina part lands on the target dimensions. We supply the parameters that make this repeatable.
What makes alumina the right choice versus zirconia?
Alumina is harder and a better electrical insulator, and it costs less, which makes it the default for insulators, wear surfaces and lab hardware. Zirconia is far tougher (950 MPa vs 397 MPa bending) and better where impact or crack resistance matters. If you are unsure, tell us the load case and a materials engineer will point you to the right oxide.
Is alumina electrically insulating at high temperature?
Yes. Alumina keeps very high electrical resistivity across a wide temperature range, which is why it is used for feedthroughs, substrates and telecom hardware. Thermal conductivity is 23.3 W/m·K, so it also moves heat reasonably while staying an insulator. For a specific voltage or temperature spec, send it over and we will confirm against the datasheet.
Which printer runs this paste?
Alumina paste is formulated for 3DCeram Ceramaker laser-SLA machines (C900 FLEX and the wider Cxxx family). It is not an FFF filament and does not run on extrusion printers. If you do not yet have a ceramic SLA machine, we supply the printer, the paste and the post-processing route together — ask for a system quote.
Can I order a sample or a small batch before committing?
Yes. Ceramic paste is bought by qualification, not by catalogue, so we routinely ship a sample or small quantity so you can validate rheology, shrinkage and sintered properties on your own hardware before a production order. Talk to a materials engineer, describe the part, and we will scope the trial — NDA standard.
