3DCeram and Sintx Technologies announce collaboration for ceramic 3D printing
3DCeram Sinto, Inc The partnership between has been announced by SINTX TechnologiesThe companies are collaborating on the development of multiple novel resins, processes, and additive manufacturing ceramic products.
The collaboration will allow the two companies to further develop and leverage their existing expertise in order to produce high-value resins as well as 3D printed ceramic components. These components will then be subjected to advanced thermal processing. The focus of the collaboration is on biomedical and investment cast industries.
“We are excited about the possibilities of creating a silicon nitride-based resin for the biomedical market. With interest in silicon nitride medical devices continuing to grow rapidly, we believe 3D printed silicon nitride devices will play a major role in the future of medical and technical segments in which we participate,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, CEO of SINTX Technologies. “We believe that SINTX’s resin formulation and densification expertise, combined with 3DCeram’s production scale printers, will provide the market with components of superior quality.”
3DCeram says it expects the collaboration with SINTX to lead to a wider geographical adoption for advanced ceramics additively manufactured.
Michael Halsband, Sinto America’s CEO added: “There has been interest for these types of capabilities across the globe. Investment casting is a sector that has a high demand for silica resin. If we are successful, this collaboration will provide game changer solutions for these industries.”
SINTX technologies has developed and commercialised materials, components and technologies for medical, technical and industrial applications. Since 2008, the company has been a leader for research, development and manufacturing of silicon nitride.
