3DCeram Sinto and Sintx Technologies have announced a collaboration to develop resins and processes for 3D printing ceramic components. By combining their expertise in materials research and additive manufacturing, the partners aim to create innovative solutions for applications in medical technology and industrial manufacturing.
“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.”
Both companies, which have deep roots in advanced ceramics and additive manufacturing, expect their collaboration to drive the geographic adoption of additively manufactured advanced ceramics.
Michael Halsband, Sinto America’s CEO added, “There has been interest for these types of capabilities across the globe. The investment casting industry specifically has a strong need for a silica-based resin. If we are successful, this collaboration will provide game changer solutions within these industries.”
The collaboration between 3DCERAM Sinto and SINTX Technologies could have far-reaching implications for the 3D ceramic printing market. Their shared vision to pool their resources and develop innovative solutions for the industry lays the foundation for potential progress in the sector. Only time will tell what disruptive technologies will emerge from this promising partnership.
