    ROCAR®3D - Ceramics in new dimensions

    Maximum flexibility, time and cost savings and highest product quality: 3D printing technology impresses with numerous, often decisive advantages. At CeramTec, more than 100 years of expertise in the field of advanced ceramics meet the spirit of innovation. We provide you with competent support in product development, from the initial idea to the finished product.


    Design freedom

    Experience complete design freedom with silicon carbide, a unique material in one of the most innovative manufacturing processes of our time: 3D printing. Create form and function parts with us in lightweight construction because only necessary elements are built up in the component. Get the finished part faster, without time-consuming and cost-intensive processing steps such as green part machining, milling or joining, and leverage further cost reduction potential through part optimization. With material thicknesses from 2 mm to 35 mm and hole diameters from 2 mm on, you have a wide range of design options

    Unbeatable process advantages of 3D printing:

  • Print directly from CAD data
  • No tools necessary
  • Realization of cavities and undercuts
  • Short production lead or changeover times
  • Maximum flexibility: design changes at the click of a mouse
  • Digitization of existing components possible
  • Simultaneous production of several components on one 3D printer possible


    Maximum flexibility and reliability

    CeramTec has succeeded in optimizing the material properties of additively manufactured SiSiC components in such a way that the material characteristics correspond to conventionally manufactured components except for a few percentage points. The use of fine silicon carbide powder enables free structures and demanding surface finishes. The very high hardness combined with the temperature and chemical resistance withstand the most demanding operating conditions. The 10% lower density than metal, together with the reduced material usage in the additive process, results in low component weights.


    Advantages of our SiSiC 3D printing technology Maximum design freedom

  • Flexibility: From batch size 1
  • Short delivery times
  • Competent service team
  • Maximum homogeneity, stability and product safety

  • Chemical composition

    SiC content: 70-75%

    Si content: 25-30%

    Other

    Sintered silicon carbide is created when prepressed and very soft SiC granulate is sintered at a temperature of more than 2,000 °C, when very strong sintering bonds between the material grains are formed. Firstly, there is lattice densification, then the porosity is lowered, and finally, sintering bonds between the grains of SiC are formed. This firing process has considerable product shrinkage of about 20 %. The final material is single-phase with higher hardness, heat and chemical resistance than SiSiC.
