Technical ceramics in the aerospace sector

The aircraft technique imposes high demands on materials as they have to prove their qualities under extreme environmental conditions. Here the Lithography based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) offers a decisive advantage because due to this method heat-resistant components of technical 3D-ceramics with complex inner structure and high dimensional stability are possible. Moreover, 3D-ceramic components endure a wide change of temperatures, they are outstanding insulators, do not degas in the vacuum and dispose of a high wear resistance.

Due to their high heat resistance, high resistance to corrosion and high density at high temperatures technical 3D-ceramics are perfectly suitable for turbine components in engines disposed to high temperatures, as well-known. Furthermore, due to their application the inlet temperature can be raised and a significant increase of efficiency can be reached.

Often for experiments special components of complex geometries in lot size 1 or 2 are needed. By LCM-methods such demands are simply realised. Adjustments of designs are possible during the Rapid Prototyping without long waiting times.
