Ceramic 3D printing company 3DCERAM Sinto is now working with SINTX Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced ceramics for biomedical and technical markets, on multiple novel resins and processes for the AM of ceramic products.
Both companies aim to produce high-value resins to 3D print ceramic components. With a key focus on biomedical and investment casting industries, the components will be subjected to advanced thermal processing.
“We are excited about the possibilities of creating a silicon nitride-based resin for the biomedical market. With interest in silicon nitride medical devices continuing to grow rapidly, we believe 3D printed silicon nitride devices will play a major role in the future of medical and technical segments in which we participate,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, CEO of SINTX Technologies. “We believe that SINTX’s resin formulation and densification expertise, combined with 3DCeram’s production scale printers, will provide the market with components of superior quality.”
According to the partners, this collaboration could expand geographical adoption of additive manufactured advanced ceramics. Through their sister company based in France, we are already familiar with 3DCeram’s technology capabilities. This collaboration with a company that specializes in technology solutions for medical and technical applications might better position 3DCeram’s solutions in this vertical industry.
Michael Halsband, Sinto America’s CEO added, “There has been interest for these types of capabilities across the globe. The investment casting industry specifically has a strong need for a silica-based resin. If we are successful, this collaboration will provide game changer solutions within these industries.”
