Abstract

Abstract Ceramic 3D printing based on stereolithography is an excellent alternative to overcome drawbacks of conventional subtractive manufacturing for 3D shape control. Optimization of photocurable ceramic slurry is one of the most essential conditions to achieve favorable 3D printed structures using SL. Homogeneity of ceramic particle dispersion in photocurable resin is particularly important to optimize ceramic suspension. Dispersant plays a significant role in increasing homogeneity. Dispersant in photocurable ceramic resin has an additional effect on photocurability and integrity of 3D printed green body. We herein discuss how dispersants influence 3D printing conditions based on stereolithography using various commercially available dispersants of BYK series such as BYK103, BYK111, BYK180, BYK182, and BYK2001. Both BYK111 and BYK180 showed better performances than others because of their lower volatilities under general temperature condition during a printing process. Both solubility and decomposition temperature of dispersants largely influenced the structural quality after washing and debinding processes. This study provides worthy information to design photocurable ceramic suspension for various types of ceramic materials.
