What your process engineer actually checks
Full workflow, not just a printer
Ceramic AM needs debinding and sintering — most vendors stop at the printer. Additive Plus supplies the full chain: the C1000 SLA system, ceramic pastes, and validated debind/sinter cycles. One partner, one workflow.
A ceramics engineer on the line
Shrinkage maps for your ceramic, debind/sinter parameter sets, and a paid sample run before you commit to a system. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard — from a team that runs ceramic AM.
The 3DCeram C1000 FLEXMATIC is an industrial laser stereolithography (SLA) system built to take technical-ceramic additive manufacturing out of the lab and into repeatable serial production — a 12.6 × 12.6 × 7.9 in / 320 × 320 × 200 mm build, one- or two-laser configuration, and CERIA process automation. It prints dense green parts in alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, aluminium nitride, hydroxyapatite and more; Additive Plus supports the full print → debind → sinter chain around it.
Why production teams choose the C1000 FLEXMATIC
Engineered for productivity, repeatability and a profitable cost per part — not just prototypes.
Built for serial production
Semi-automated part handling, removable tanks and CERIA AI process control cut manual operations, process variability and cost per part on the 320 × 320 × 200 mm platform.
One- or two-laser configuration
Choose a single 300 mW UV laser or a dual-laser build for higher throughput. A ~60 µm spot resolves fine detail and holds accuracy across the plate.
Broad technical-ceramic library
Alumina, zirconia (incl. 8Y), silicon nitride, aluminium nitride, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, cordierite and silica-based ceramics — one platform across industries.
Support-free top-down SLA
Top-down stereolithography builds without supports and refills mid-cycle from cartridges — from 60 mL of ceramic (10 mL with the Small-Amount-of-Material option) up to 920 mL.
Print → debind → sinter: the full ceramic workflow
A printed ceramic is a “green” part, not a finished one. The C1000 is step one of three — and Additive Plus supports all three.
Print the green part
The UV laser cures ceramic-loaded paste layer by layer, 0.025–0.125 mm at a time, into a dense green body on the 320 × 320 × 200 mm platform.
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.
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 C1000 FLEXMATIC runs 3DCeram’s technical-ceramic pastes. 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.
| Ceramic | Key properties | Typical parts |
|---|---|---|
| Alumina (Al₂O₃) | High hardness, wear & corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, high service temperature | Wear parts, insulators, industrial components |
| Zirconia (ZrO₂) & 8Y | High strength & toughness; 8Y adds ionic conductivity & heat insulation | Medical & dental, solid-oxide fuel cells |
| Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) | Excellent thermal-shock & wear resistance, low density, low thermal expansion | Bearings, high-temperature structural parts |
| Aluminium nitride (AlN) | High thermal conductivity with electrical insulation, good mechanical strength | Electronics, thermal-management substrates |
| Hydroxyapatite (HA) / TCP | Bioactive, resorbable, biocompatible | Bone substitutes, cranial & maxillofacial implants |
| Cordierite & silica-based | Low thermal expansion, thermal-shock resistant, low dielectric loss | Refractory & thermal components |

From teams running 3DCeram ceramic AM
Unedited feedback from process and R&D leads.
The C1000 moved us from lab trials to steady core production — lot-to-lot repeatability is what sold us.
Zirconia parts come off dense and accurate once the sinter cycle is dialed in — Additive Plus shared theirs.
AlN substrates we couldn't machine economically now print in batches — the workflow support mattered as much as the machine.
