Two materials in a single build
The HYBRID lays down two materials in the same layer — ceramic plus a second ceramic, metal or polymer. That is a capability single-material ceramic SLA simply doesn't have, and it's what makes functionally graded and multi-property parts possible.

About this product
The 3DCeram C101 HYBRID is a multi-material ceramic SLA printer that can lay down two materials in the same layer — ceramic plus a second ceramic, metal or polymer — on a 3.9 × 3.9 × 5.9 in / 100 × 100 × 150 mm platform. It opens up functionally graded and multi-material ceramic parts that single-material printing can’t make. Additive Plus supports the full print → debind → co-sinter workflow around it.
Why multi-material teams choose the C101 HYBRID
One build, two materials — the capability that sets the HYBRID apart from single-material ceramic SLA.
Two materials in one layer
The HYBRID prints two materials simultaneously within the same layer — the core capability that unlocks parts a single-material process cannot build.
Ceramic + metal or polymer
The second material can be another ceramic, a metal or a polymer — enabling functionally graded structures, embedded features and multi-property parts.
Open-parameter R&D platform
Full parameter control on a compact laser SLA system — develop and qualify new multi-material combinations, not just run fixed recipes.
Compact, from 60 mL
Cartridges from 60 mL up to 920 mL and a small 100 × 100 × 150 mm platform keep experimental and precious materials economical per trial.
Print → debind → co-sinter: the multi-material workflow
A printed part is a “green” body, not a finished one — and with two materials, co-firing matters. Additive Plus supports all three steps.
Step 01
Print the green part
The UV laser cures two materials layer by layer, 0.020–0.125 mm at a time, into a multi-material 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, leaving a fragile multi-material body ready for firing.
Step 03
Co-sinter to density
The materials are co-sintered to near-full density. Matching shrinkage between the two materials is the key challenge — we help characterise and compensate it.
Materials & compatible ceramics
The C101 HYBRID runs 3DCeram’s technical-ceramic pastes and pairs a ceramic with a second ceramic, metal or polymer in the same layer. Each ceramic family targets a different property set. Additive Plus helps select a compatible material pair and shares the matching debind/co-sinter schedule.

Common questions

What does "HYBRID" mean on the C101 HYBRID?
On the C101 HYBRID, "hybrid" means the machine can print two materials simultaneously within the same layer. The primary material is a technical ceramic; the second can be another ceramic, a metal or a polymer. This multi-material capability is what separates the HYBRID from single-material ceramic SLA and lets you build functionally graded parts, embedded features and multi-property components.
What second materials can the C101 HYBRID combine with ceramic?
The C101 HYBRID pairs a base ceramic with a second material that can be another ceramic, a metal or a polymer, placed in the same layer. Which combinations are practical depends on how the two materials debind and sinter together, so Additive Plus helps you select a compatible pair and characterise the process before you commit to a specific part.
What post-processing is required after printing on the C101 HYBRID?
A part printed on the C101 HYBRID is a "green" multi-material body, not a finished ceramic. Debinding removes the organic binder, then the materials are co-sintered to near-full density. With two materials, co-firing is the critical step. Additive Plus supplies the validated debind and co-sinter schedule and can supply the furnaces, so you develop against a complete workflow.
How do you manage shrinkage between two different materials?
Matching shrinkage is the central challenge in multi-material ceramic printing: each material shrinks as it sinters, and mismatch causes stress or cracking. On the C101 HYBRID, the material pair is chosen and the co-sinter cycle tuned so the two shrink compatibly. Additive Plus helps characterise each material's shrinkage and compensate it in the design and firing schedule.
What is the build volume and layer thickness?
The C101 HYBRID has a 100 × 100 × 150 mm (3.9 × 3.9 × 5.9 in) build platform and prints layers from 0.020 to 0.125 mm using a 300 mW UV laser at 405 nm with a ~60 µm spot. Cartridges range from 60 to 920 mL. The compact platform suits development and multi-material research parts rather than large production runs.
Is the C101 HYBRID a production machine or a development machine?
The C101 HYBRID is primarily a development and research platform: its compact 100 × 100 × 150 mm build and open parameters suit qualifying new multi-material combinations rather than high-volume production. Once a multi-material process is proven, Additive Plus helps map it toward larger 3DCeram systems where the part geometry allows.
What is the linear shrinkage after sintering?
Sintered ceramic parts shrink roughly 15–20% linearly, depending on the ceramic and packing density. On the C101 HYBRID the added consideration is matching that shrinkage across two materials so they co-sinter without cracking. Shrinkage is compensated in CAD before printing, and Additive Plus helps characterise the factor for each material in your pair.
Can Additive Plus print a paid multi-material sample before I buy?
Yes. Before committing to a C101 HYBRID, you can send your concept and target material pair and Additive Plus will print, debind and co-sinter a paid multi-material sample so you validate feasibility, interface quality and shrinkage matching. For a multi-material development purchase it is the lowest-risk way to confirm the approach — talk to a ceramics engineer to scope it.
