High-precision complex-shaped ceramic parts manufactured in a short time using metal 3D printers <Zoom Online Seminar> - Canon utilizes newly developed high-performance ceramic materials in its selective laser melting method for 3D additive manufacturing, while Metal Research Institute fabricates high-precision and complex-shaped ceramic parts using metal 3D printers.
With advancements in technology, a variety of ceramics 3D printers have recently been developed and launched into the market, enabling the creation of complex shapes and integrated structures that were impossible with traditional methods and technologies, such as porous and lattice structures, and hollow structures. This has led to the innovative production of ceramic parts, short-term, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing, a significant reduction in the number of parts, and a substantial decrease in production processes and workforce.
On the other hand, Canon has developed a high-performance ceramic material that excels in selective laser melting (SLM) using metal 3D printers, which suppresses "shrinkage" during firing. In June of last year, Canon and the Metal Research Institute collaborated to officially launch a contract manufacturing service for high-precision, complex-shaped ceramic parts using Canon's innovative ceramic materials and leveraging the metal 3D printers from 3D Systems.
In this seminar, we will provide a practical and easy-to-understand explanation of the development trends of Canon's ceramic materials compatible with metal 3D printers, the molding technology using these materials, the characteristics of the parts that can be produced, the physical properties and features of the molded products, target areas, collaboration with the Metal Research Institute, and future material development and market strategies.
