Shashin Kagaku DLP type 3D printer SZ-800

・ Equipped with an external large-capacity automatic slurry replenishment unit, which enables long-time continuous operation without running out of materials.
・ Equipped with surveillance cameras that monitor defects during 3D printing.
・ Equipped with the functions of blade cleaning and surplus slurry recovery, which enable effective use of surplus materials in 3D printing.
・ Equipped with a conveying table that smoothly carries out a green body on the stage to the cleaning process after large-area 3D printing.

1.Electric & electronic parts
The SZ series can reproduce distinctive shapes specific to 3D printing with ceramics. Functionality can be improved by the structure, such as weight reduction and heat dissipation of ceramic members. Since laminated layer height differences increase the surface area, it is expected that the functionality of catalysts, etc., will improve. High-efficiency electrodes, gas sensor devices, and others can be made of functional ceramic materials.

 
2.Biological & medical systems
The SZ series is also compatible with biocompatible materials, so that artificial bones having a sponge body structure, dental materials, etc. can be made. It also possible to prototype parts of medical devices as ceramics are substituted for metals.
The chemical resistance, heat resistance, and allergic resistance of ceramics are effective for medical care.

 
3.Energy & environment systems
The SZ series realizes improvement in catalytic function by expanding the surface area through utilization of laminated layer height differences specific to 3D printing, and higher added value by optimizing the materials and functions, such as flow passage design with unique shapes.

 
4.Mechanical parts & heat dissipation parts
The SZ series allows for use of the same materials as ceramic injection molding (CIM). It is suitable for making of prototype models before mass-production, small-lot production, and production of complex shapes for which molds are expensive. It is effective for prototyping to evaluate the functionality of actual materials according to structural differences, etc. Also, 3D printing excels in cost performance with increasingly microscopic and complex shapes.

 
5.Biomimetics
There are many cases where living things improve their functionality due to special shapes.
They can also be realized with ceramics by microscopic 3D printing technology of the SZ series.

 
6.Accessories & single items
The SZ series can shape one-of-a-kind items with ceramics by taking advantage of the degree of freedom of 3D printing.
Originally designed tools and accessories can be made.
When created with zirconia, etc., even ceramics can be made into accessories, realizing such complex shapes.
