3DCeram, a provider of ceramic 3D printing technologies, announces the successful installation of its state-of-the-art Ceramic Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer at Carborundum Universal Limited (CUMI). CUMI, a renowned ceramics manufacturing company in India and part of the INR 742 billion (USD 8.9 billion) Murugappa Group, is significantly expanding its production capacity with this collaboration. The new technology will enable CUMI to manufacture intricate and critical ceramic parts with unprecedented precision.
CUMI, which is active in the fields of abrasives, electrominerals, ceramics, refractories and energy storage materials, expects the use of 3DCeram SLA 3D printing technology to provide strategic advantages in the production of ceramic components. In contrast to conventional methods, top-down stereolithography enables the production of complex parts without support structures, which increases precision while maintaining the properties of traditionally produced ceramics.
CUMI has already successfully processed alumina with 3DCeram’s 3D printer and plans to test other materials such as zirconia, silicon nitride and silicore (silicate-based for foundry cores) in the near future.
“We are confident that by incorporating the 3D printing technology into our production process, we would be able to cater into more markets for Technical Ceramics. We are satisfied with the Installation, Training, and Support extended by Shree Rapid Technologies on behalf of 3D Ceram Sinto,” stated Prathap Kumar, Business Head – Industrial Ceramics Divisionat CUMI.
This technological partnership marks a significant advance in the production of ceramic components and underlines the potential of 3D printing to transform traditional manufacturing processes.
