Functional thermal data

163.1 W/m·K thermal conductivity with electrical insulation and 368 GPa modulus — the property set that makes AlN a power-electronics ceramic, backed by datasheet numbers.

The full ceramic workflow

Every order ships with the debinding and sintering parameters. AlN is sintered to 97% density, and shrinkage is compensated in build prep so conformal cooling geometries land on dimension.

About this product

Aluminium Nitride 3D Printing Paste is a 3DCeram aluminium nitride (AlN) paste for the Ceramaker laser-SLA platform — a non-oxide ceramic that combines very high thermal conductivity with electrical insulation.

Why engineers choose this paste

The go-to ceramic for power electronics: it conducts heat like a metal but insulates like a ceramic.

163 W/m·K thermal conductivity

Moves heat far better than alumina while staying an electrical insulator — ideal for power-electronics substrates.

Electrical insulation

High resistivity for insulating heat-spreader and substrate roles in electronics.

368 GPa modulus

High stiffness and good mechanical strength at 3.22 g/cc density.

Complex SLA geometry

Print channelled and conformal cooling geometries not practical by pressing.

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

Sintered to 97% dense AlN (3.22 g/cc, <5 µm grain) preserving high thermal conductivity.

Typical applications

Thermal-management and insulating parts for electronics.

Common questions

What is Aluminium Nitride paste and why is it special?
Aluminium Nitride (AlN) is a non-oxide ceramic that does something unusual — it conducts heat almost like a metal (163 W/m·K) while remaining an electrical insulator. That combination makes it the standard substrate ceramic for power electronics. You print a green part on the Ceramaker laser-SLA platform, then debind and sinter it to a 97% dense AlN component.
How does AlN compare with alumina for electronics?
Both insulate electrically, but AlN conducts heat about seven times better than alumina (163 vs 23 W/m·K), so it is the choice wherever heat must be pulled away from a device. Alumina is harder and cheaper and is fine where thermal load is modest. If you are choosing a substrate ceramic, tell us the power density and a materials engineer will advise.
Why does the printed part shrink during processing?
AlN prints as an oversized green part; the binder is removed in debinding and the ceramic fuses in sintering, so the part shrinks to final size. Shrinkage is predictable and compensated in build preparation, so the sintered part lands on target dimensions. We supply the parameters that make it repeatable.
Can I print conformal cooling or channelled geometries?
Yes — that is a key reason to use ceramic SLA rather than pressing. Because the part is built layer-by-layer, you can put internal channels and conformal cooling paths into an AlN heat spreader that could not be pressed. Send the geometry and a materials engineer will confirm what the process supports.
Which printer runs this paste?
AlN paste runs on 3DCeram Ceramaker laser-SLA machines (C900 FLEX and the Cxxx family). It is a non-oxide ceramic paste, not an FFF filament. If you need the machine as well, we quote the printer, paste and post-processing together.
Can I order a sample first?
Yes. AlN is qualified against a thermal and electrical target, so we routinely ship a sample or small batch to validate conductivity and density on your own hardware before a production order. Talk to a materials engineer to scope the trial — NDA standard.
