Assessing the Challenges of 3D Printing Barium Titanate

The additive manufacturing (AM) of barium titanate, a smart ceramic with ferroelectric properties, has applications across the medical, robotics, and electronics industries, with AM playing an important role in helping manufacturers innovate with the material. By leveraging understanding of 3D printing of clay, we are working on understanding the challenges of 3D printing of barium titanate. In this study, we quantitatively assess and compare particle shape and size of the pre-printed slurry of both materials.
