About this product

Zetamix Black Zirconia lets you 3D-print dense technical zirconia (3Y-TZP) with a deep, through-body black finish on a standard FFF printer, then debind and sinter to a tough, wear-resistant ceramic part — the same print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T.

Zetamix black zirconia 3D printed sintered ceramic parts
Black zirconia parts printed on a standard FFF machine, then debound and sintered to dense black ceramic.

Why engineers choose Zetamix Black Zirconia filament

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP) coloured black all the way through — zirconia strength with a finished black surface.

Zirconia toughness

3Y-TZP resists chipping and impact where alumina and other technical ceramics crack — for parts that take load and abuse.

High flexural strength

Bending strength of 400–1000 MPa after sintering, at 98–99% of theoretical density — the mechanical performance of technical zirconia.

Deep black, all the way through

The colour runs through the part, not a coating. It stays black through matte, brushed or polished finishing — no plating, no paint.

Wear & corrosion resistant

Hard, chemically stable surface for guides, wear parts and structural components that run in abrasive or aggressive environments.

Black zirconia material properties after sintering

  • Composition: yttria-stabilized zirconia (3Y-TZP), coloured black through-body
  • Density after sintering: 98–99% of theoretical
  • Bending strength: 400–1000 MPa
  • Fracture toughness: highest of the common technical ceramics
  • Colour: deep black, consistent throughout
  • Sintering: 1475 °C, 2 h hold, air atmosphere
  • Linear shrinkage: ~21.5% (scale the model by 127.4%)
  • Filament: 1.75 mm · 500 g spool

Full specifications are listed in the Specifications tab. Mechanical values are process-dependent — final properties vary with print, debind and sinter parameters.

From spool to dense black ceramic part

Three stages — the same workflow we run in-house.

Step 01

Design & scale

Scale the model by 127.4% for sintering shrinkage. Minimum wall 1 mm, minimum part 6 mm cube, minimum vertical hole 0.6 mm, pins ≥2.3 mm.

Step 02

Print on FFF

Print the green part on any standard FFF machine with a grooved drive gear and flexible build plate. 100% fan, 1 mm retraction at 20 mm/s.

Step 03

Debind & sinter

Acetone debind (6 h, 40 °C), thermal debind to 500 °C, then sinter to 1475 °C in air to a dense black zirconia part. No furnace? We run this for you.

Where black zirconia is used

Designers and engineers print black zirconia when they need zirconia strength and a finished black surface in the same part.

Watch how Zetamix ceramic and metal filaments go from spool to dense, sintered part — the same FFF print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house.

Choose your Zetamix material

Every Zetamix filament prints on a standard FFF 3D printer — we print and validate them in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. system — then debind and sinter to a dense ceramic or metal part. The highlighted row is the material on this page; compare the range below:

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What makes black zirconia different from white zirconia?
Black zirconia contains cobalt iron oxide pigment that provides the deep black color while maintaining the same exceptional mechanical properties as white zirconia—perfect for applications where black aesthetics are required.
What finishing options are available for black zirconia?
Black zirconia can be finished as-sintered (matte black), brushed for satin finish, or polished to high gloss. The black color remains consistent through all finishing processes.
What applications is black zirconia best suited for?
Luxury watch components, black consumer electronics, high-end jewelry, architectural details, premium kitchenware, and any application requiring both black aesthetics and ceramic performance.
How does the strength compare to other ceramics?
Black zirconia offers exceptional bending strength (400-1000 MPa) and hardness (19 GPa), making it significantly stronger than most technical ceramics and ideal for functional, high-wear applications.
Does the black color affect the material properties?
No, the black pigment is integrated during manufacturing and does not compromise the exceptional mechanical properties of the zirconia matrix.
What design limitations should I consider?
Similar to white zirconia: maximum printed size determined by furnace, minimum wall: 1mm, minimum feature: 0.6mm. Follow the same design guidelines as white zirconia.
Can I achieve different shades of black?
The material produces a consistent deep black. Different surface finishes (matte, brushed, polished) will affect the appearance but not the base color.
How long does the complete process take?
Printing varies by model. Chemical debinding takes 6h + 2h drying, thermal debinding ≈60h (or 23h accelerated), and sintering ≈29h including ramp times and holding.
What safety precautions are necessary?
Standard ceramic filament handling—use in well-ventilated areas, wear FFP2 masks during printing and handling. The sintered black zirconia is safe for handling.
What's the shelf life of the filament?
One year when stored in original vacuum-sealed packaging in cool, dry conditions.
