Abstract

Digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing has a huge potential for manufacturing intricate and customized ceramic parts with high precision and cost-effectiveness. Research in this field contributes to material innovation, opening the avenues for new process designs in both scientific and industrial sectors. However, the implementation of DLP 3D printing technology in ceramic research has not yet reached the maturity level as that in polymer and tissue engineering. Necessarily, a holistic in-depth literature reporting the successful integration of alumina ceramics within DLP 3D printing technology is urgently needed. This review, systematic examines recent progress in DLP technology, focusing on photopolymer resins that incorporate UV-sensitive monomers, photoinitiators, and dispersants, as well as their synergistic effects on achieving high-quality printing, desirable material properties, and enhanced performance. Further, the review discusses key factors including post-processing characteristics such as debinding and sintering, which influence microstructure, and defect formation including microcracks, porosity and voids. Finally, the challenges associated with printing and sintering are highlighted, aiming to identify focused focused development pathways and potential solution to optimize outcomes. This analysis clarifies existing challenges and also propsoes future applications for DLP technology in the alumina-ceramic field.

期刊介绍： Progress in Natural Science: Materials International provides scientists and engineers throughout the world with a central vehicle for the exchange and dissemination of basic theoretical studies and applied research of advanced materials. The emphasis is placed on original research, both analytical and experimental, which is of permanent interest to engineers and scientists, covering all aspects of new materials and technologies, such as, energy and environmental materials; advanced structural materials; advanced transportation materials, functional and electronic materials; nano-scale and amorphous materials; health and biological materials; materials modeling and simulation; materials characterization; and so on. The latest research achievements and innovative papers in basic theoretical studies and applied research of material science will be carefully selected and promptly reported. Thus, the aim of this Journal is to serve the global materials science and technology community with the latest research findings. As a service to readers, an international bibliography of recent publications in advanced materials is published bimonthly.
