Ceramics for manufacturing
The versatility and special properties of ceramics make it an outstanding material for various industries. Ceramics are characterised by excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties as well as high temperature resistance.
There are various manufacturing methods that can be used to produce high-quality, precise and resistant end products made of ceramics. On this page, in line with our marketplace offering, you will mainly find information on ceramics in additive manufacturing.
3D printing with ceramics
Ceramic objects are characterized by their excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties and high temperature resistance. With Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM), we are able to produce high-precision 3D objects with a smooth surface and exceptional ceramic durability. That way even complex miniature components can be produced, which are suitable for use in high-temperature engineering, aerospace or medicine.

3D data check
The data check on the PROTIQ Marketplace is always done automatically. This procedure guarantees a consistently high quality. After uploading your file to our server, the PROTIQ software checks the file for manufacturability. Small errors are repaired automatically. In the case of large errors, you will be informed before printing and asked for approval by means of a preview.
TIP: Upload your file and have it automatically repaired by the software. You will then be able to download the repaired file under the item “File Info.” In addition, the file is saved in your account.
