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.

About this product

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.

Step 01
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.

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 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.

What post-processing is required after printing on the C1000 FLEXMATIC?
A part printed on the C1000 FLEXMATIC 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 get a complete workflow rather than just a printer.
What is the linear shrinkage after sintering and how do I design for it?
Sintered C1000 FLEXMATIC 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 the target dimensions. Additive Plus shares the shrinkage factor and scaling approach for your specific ceramic during process setup.
Which ceramics does the C1000 FLEXMATIC support?
The C1000 FLEXMATIC runs 3DCeram technical-ceramic pastes: alumina (Al₂O₃), zirconia (ZrO₂ and 8Y), silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), aluminium nitride (AlN), hydroxyapatite (HA), tricalcium phosphate (TCP), cordierite and silica-based ceramics. Each targets a different property set — mechanical, thermal, electrical or biomedical. If you need a ceramic that is not on the list, 3DCeram develops formulations on request; ask our engineer.
What is the build volume and laser configuration?
The C1000 FLEXMATIC has a 320 × 320 × 200 mm (12.6 × 12.6 × 7.9 in) build platform and is offered with one or two 300 mW UV lasers at 405 nm with a ~60 µm spot. The dual-laser configuration raises throughput for serial production, while the fine spot holds accuracy and detail across the plate. Layer thickness runs 0.025–0.125 mm.
Is the C1000 FLEXMATIC suitable for medical or dental ceramic parts?
Yes. The C1000 FLEXMATIC prints biocompatible ceramics such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate and zirconia used for bone substitutes, cranial and maxillofacial implants and dental prostheses. 3DCeram holds long experience in bioceramics. Clearance and biocompatibility depend on the specific material and application, so Additive Plus will confirm the material's status for your indication rather than making a blanket claim.
What does the CERIA process automation do?
CERIA is 3DCeram's in-house AI-driven automation on the C1000 FLEXMATIC. It supports fast setup, secure operation and stable process control, which reduces manual operations and process variability across a production run. Combined with removable tanks and semi-automated part handling, it is what lets the C1000 hold repeatability lot to lot — the difference between a lab machine and a serial-production system.
What utilities and footprint does the C1000 FLEXMATIC need?
The C1000 FLEXMATIC measures 1160 × 1980 × 1800 mm and weighs about 1,250 kg. It runs on 220–240 VAC, 50 Hz, needs dry compressed air at 6 bar, and a controlled environment of 20–25 °C at about 50% relative humidity with limited temperature drift. Additive Plus reviews your facility during installation planning and handles commissioning in the US.
Can Additive Plus print a paid sample part before I buy?
Yes. Before committing to a C1000 FLEXMATIC, 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. It is the lowest-risk way to qualify ceramic AM for your parts — talk to a ceramics engineer to scope it.
