Research Development on Preparation of Silicon Nitride Ceramics by Photocuring 3D Printing Technology
Silicon nitride ceramics(Si3N4)have advantages such as high hardness,good wear resistance and excellent biocompatibility.Therefore,the preparation of Si3N4 ceramics with complex shapes through additive manufacturing has become a research hotspot in recent years.Digital light processing(DLP)technology enables the rapid preparation of complex shapes ceramics that are difficult to fabricate using traditional methods with high forming precision,fast forming efficiency,and significant personalization.This paper analyzes the preparation and control of Si3N4 ceramic slurry,its photocuring properties,and the sintering process of green bodies.It elaborates on the current research status of preparing Si3N4 ceramics using DLP photocuring and provides a prospective outlook on its development trends.
