Barium titanate (BTO) is a smart ceramic known for its piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Additively manufacturing BTO would give engineers the ability to develop innovative designs not achievable with the traditional manufacturing techniques in use today and expand the material’s applications. Using the Direct Ink Writing additive manufacturing process, this study is focused on discovering which printing parameters have the greatest impact on print quality and how to maximize print speed while maintaining print quality.
