Abstract The energy transition is one of the main challenges our society and therefore a major driver for scientific community. To ensure smart to sustainable future scenario different technologies such as harvesting using solar cells or windmills chemical storage in batteries, super-capacitors hydrogen have be developed ultimately deployed. New fabrication approaches based on additive manufacturing digitalization industrial processes increase potential achieve highly efficient required...
Powder‐based 3D printing was combined with sacrificial templating to realize highly porous yttria‐stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) ceramic foam objects well‐defined geometries. The template is printed using poly(methyl methacrylate) powder. Various methods are evaluated optimize slurry infiltration into the 3D‐printed and subsequent burn‐out. optimized method yields an open porosity of >66% replicates geometry high fidelity.
The limited control over the printing process in commercial powder bed 3D printers hinders exploration of novel materials and applications. In this study, a custom binder-jetting printer was developed. resulting fine-grained enables features such as voxel-based printed ink volume, adaptive layer thickness, selective multi-pass printing. A protocol developed to optimize for new build binders, which resolution tests were used guideline improving dimensional accuracy. As demonstration process,...
