Zetamix Silicon Carbide filament lets you 3D-print one of the hardest technical ceramics on a standard FFF printer, then debind and sinter to a dense silicon carbide part — the same print → debind → sinter workflow we run in-house on our 3DCeram M.A.T. It reaches 25 GPa hardness (Hv10) and holds up under thermal shock, high temperature and aggressive chemistry.
Why engineers choose Zetamix Silicon Carbide filament
78% SiC by mass, 25 GPa hardness after sintering — silicon carbide performance from a standard FFF printer.
Among the hardest technical ceramics available — for abrasive, high-wear parts where steels and softer ceramics wear out.
Handles rapid temperature swings without cracking — suited to heat exchangers and thermal-management components.
Holds its mechanical properties at extreme temperatures where polymers and metals fail.
Stable against corrosive and aggressive media — for parts that run in harsh chemical environments.
Silicon carbide material properties after sintering
- Composition: 78% SiC by mass
- Density after sintering: 98–99% of theoretical
- Hardness: 25 GPa (Hv10)
- Bending strength: 400 MPa
- Sintering: 2200 °C under controlled atmosphere (partial vacuum with argon)
- Linear shrinkage: 16.8% (X/Y), 22.6% (Z)
- Filament: 1.75 mm
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 silicon carbide part
Three stages — the same workflow we run in-house.
Design & scale
Scale the model for sintering shrinkage: 16.8% (X/Y) and 22.6% (Z). Account for SiC’s extreme hardness in any post-machining and design accordingly.
Print on FFF
Print the green part on any standard FFF machine with a grooved drive gear to prevent filament grinding and a flexible build plate for easy removal.
Debind & sinter
Chemical (acetone) debind, then thermal debind, then sinter to 2200 °C under argon / partial vacuum to a dense SiC part. No furnace? We run this for you.
Where silicon carbide is used
Engineers 3D-print silicon carbide when they need extreme hardness, thermal-shock resistance and chemical stability in one part.

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:
