Technical ceramics in chemistry and in laboratories

In the chemical industry work is often performed under high temperatures and with acids and lye. Due to their corrosion and high temperature resistance and their resistance to acids and lyes, our components made of technical 3D-printing-ceramics are to be found in many key positions in process engineering and chemical technology like, for example, in machines, measuring instruments, microreactors and sensors. Also in laboratories, crucibles and sample holders, for example, made of technical 3D-ceramics are used.

Filling level measurement in aggressive media

In the chemical industry sensors for filling level measurements are often exposed to adhesive, caustic, aggressive and abrasive materials. Thereby it is important that not only quantities of liquids and separating layers but of bulk materials, too, are precisely detected. Compared with metals and other materials in this field components made of technical 3D-printing ceramics especially benefit in addition to their corrosion resistance from their abrasion resistance, too. The surface of the ceramic sensors stays wear resistant.

Smallest series and prototypes for research in the chemical industry

In the field of research and development in the chemical industry prototypes and small quantities play an important role. Due to the 3D-printing by Lithography based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) Lithography based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) it is possible to manufacture smallest series and prototypes cost-efficiently. The design and the choice of material can be adjusted and modified directly by CAD-data on the computer. Thus, no cost-intensive changing of tools is needed. By 3D-printing of miniatures and test facilities made of technical 3D-ceramics engineers save a lot of time in developing production lines.
