Ceramics in 3D-printing for the automobile industry

Automobile manufacturers impose very high demands on the material composition of specific components. In particular, heat-resistant components for engines are needed. Also, research departments in the automobile industry require heat-resistant components for analyses. Due to the method of Lithography based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) we can produce a variety of heat-resistant components from technical 3D-printing-ceramics. Especially in the engine compartment heat-resistant components from 3D-ceramics, like components for valves and fuel pumps for example, arrange for a lower noise level, for a higher efficiency and for less abrasion.

Ceramic technology of sealing, sliding and storage

In the automobile industry reqirements on storage, sealing and slide rings are particularly high, for example in the exhaust systems, in circuits of gases or liquids and of course in engine systems. In various aggressive surroundings technical 3D-ceramics ensure a high temperature resistance, high resilience and an extraordinary wear resistance. For example, components for storage, sliding and sealing technology can be manufactured in different ways from alumina and zirconium oxide. The spectrum of applications ranges from shafts and valves over plain bearings and slide rings to spools for water pumps, rolling bearings or fuel pumps.

Sensors for exhaust and oil level measurements

Equally possible is the production of 3D ceramic sensors for exhaust measurements, for the measurement of oil levels and for other measurements in hot media. The so-produced heat-resistant 3D-printing ceramic components endure a wide change of temperatures, dispose of a high wear resistance, are chemically resistant and can be manufactured in the complex geometries. Thus, we can support the automobile industry in every field where filigree, resistant components are applied.
