On November 14, 2017, ZHMT,China’s leading manufacturer of ceramic powder materials, aviation-grade titanium alloy powders, and superalloy powder materials and Austria Lithoz Company signed a cooperation agreement at the Formnext 2017 exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany. Demand for parts. It is reported that the two sides will establish the China Aerospace Ceramics 3D Printing Innovation Center in Beijing to explore the development of new ceramic materials for aerospace engines, cermets and their parts. AZHMT will provide professional services for aerospace and military users in China on behalf of Lithoz.
ZHMT Corporation, as a global leading metal,ceramic powder material supplier and advanced material rapid manufacturing service provider, is strong in 3D printing metal materials, focusing on titanium-based, nickel-based, cobalt-based, iron-based, aluminum-based and other advanced alloy powder materials and Its application technology research and development has become a material supplier for many European and American 3D printing companies. At the Frankfurt Formnext exhibition, ZHMT and other advanced high-end powder materials such as NiTi shape memory alloys, amorphous alloys, high-entropy alloys, and ultra-high purity nickel-based alloys were unveiled, attracting Safran, Honeywell, GKN, BMW, Ukraine Space Agency and other users negotiate cooperation.
LITHOZ company is located in Vienna, Austria. It is a technology innovator of ceramic 3D printing. The company is invested by EOS, a heavyweight 3D printing company. Its patented LCM technology solves the problem of difficult to process complex ceramic parts. It is widely used in medical, aerospace, automotive In the fields of manufacturing and electronics industry, we are partners of scientific research units such as Bosch of Germany, Fraunhofer research team, Tsinghua University, China.
Lithoz technical characteristics and advantages
Lithography-based ceramic manufacturing technology (LCM) is a type of light curing (SLA) technology. It is a new ceramic 3D printing technology developed by Lithoz company based on its core patent.
This technology uses photopolymers as a binder between the ceramic particles, thereby enabling the formation of higher density ceramic green bodies. It has the characteristics of high accuracy, good repeatability, high density (> 99,4% T.D.), And has the same material properties as the traditional production method.
LITHOZ can achieve rapid prototyping of small batches and highly complex shapes. It can be directly produced with CAD data without the cost of adjustment and modification. At the same time, no mold is required in the manufacturing process. Can obtain excellent product quality and performance. It is widely used in biomedicine, catalyst, and lightweight structure.
A plug-and-play ceramic 3D printer that can print high-quality ceramic parts based on CAD data. It has both economy and high precision, and is suitable for processing complex parts and small parts with high precision requirements. It can be used in scientific research, medicine, ceramic jewelry processing and other fields. The printing materials are mainly ceramic materials, such as zirconia and high-purity alumina. Compared with traditional production methods, the processed ceramic parts have the same performance.
The most commercially available 3D printer that can print high-precision and high-purity ceramic parts on the market.
Save time and cost. From CAD data to production, the part geometry can be changed arbitrarily.
There is no geometric shape limitation, it can produce highly complex porous structures with very thin wall thickness (wall thickness <150 μm), and it is easy to construct various structures of the internal cavity without demoulding.
