ORNL scientists advance ceramic 3D printing with leak-tight components

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a method to overcome a long-standing challenge in ceramic additive manufacturing by integrating binder jet 3D printing with an advanced post-processing technique to produce leak-tight ceramic components. According to ORNL, ceramics are valued in industrial applications for their ability to withstand extreme environments, offering high temperature resi…
