Geometries complexes ceràmiques amb 3D Printing

This manufacturing solution solves the limitation of the ceramic industrial fabrication technology, limited to tape cast sheets and extruded shapes, which limits the geometries of the SOC devices, and thus their performance. It eliminates the use of seals and interconnect plates (the main points of failure), allows control of porosity gradients and a variety of materials in the same product. The ceramic fuel cell will integrate all the elements of a SOFC in one monolithic structure that requires complex geometries only obtainable via 3D printing. Such geometries do not currently exist in the ceramic 3D printing field. This method overcomes a series of technical problems related to 3D printing machines and ceramic slurries.
