Glass / China / Ceramics

A French SME with over 15 years of expertise in ceramic additive manufacturing offers an industrial solution based on stereolithography (SLA) technology. This technology enables the production of advanced ceramic parts with high dimensional precision and complex geometries that are impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. The technology includes: • A fully modular 3D printer platform suitable for R&D or series production; (Sizes of 100 x 100 x 150 mm; 320 x 320 x 200 mm; 600 x 600 x 300 mm) • A portfolio of high-performance ceramics (e.g. alumina, Si3N4, Zirconia, AlN…) adapted to harsh operating environments • A complete process chain including debinding, sintering, and finishing adapted to aerospace and defence requirements The system is particularly suited for applications requiring: • High thermal and mechanical resistance (e.g. components exposed to high temperatures or abrasion); • Weight reduction through internal lattices or hollow structures; • On-demand manufacturing of low-volume critical parts with short lead times. The technology is already in use by major aerospace actors and research institutions. With a worldwide presence the firm is willing to extend its business on the international scene by searching industrial partners for commercial, technical or research cooperation. ________________________________________ Advantages and innovations • Production of ultra-complex parts with internal channels and lattices, impossible with traditional ceramic shaping methods • High purity ceramics with resistance to high temperature • Modular platform adaptable to R&D or industrial production • Design freedom enabling mass reduction while maintaining strength • Localized, safe, and scalable production (key for strategic sectors like defence) • Reduced tooling costs and production delays Technical Specification or Expertise Sought The company seeks partners in: • Aerospace & defence (OEMs, integrators, equipment manufacturers) • Research institutes working on propulsion, thermal protection systems, sensors or structural components • Technology integrators exploring advanced materials and additive manufacturing Expected role of a partner The partners sought are: - industrial partners in the aerospace and defence sectors, research institutions - governmental/defence agencies for pilot adoption or co development. The roles of the partners: - Technical cooperation to adapt the solution to specific operational needs - Manufacturing agreement for production of parts
