Synthesis and Assessment of Porcelain Ceramic Slurry with Silica Gel for Prolonged Printability

Article Preview

Abstract:

3D printing of ceramics grabbed its attention recently because of its ease of shaping. The extrusion-based 3D printing technique is widely used for ceramics as it involves paste formulation. However, the slurry is often formulated and mixed initially by hand kneading and later by a high-speed mixer. This phenomenon leads to the evaporation of water quickly while combining or out of its insufficient time allowed for extrudable slurry or paste formulation. The slurry's printable time is also reduced due to this phenomenon. This study prepares a hybrid ceramic mixture comprising silica gel, and printable time is calculated. Triaxial porcelain is used as a model ceramic.
