1. Principles of additive manufacturing of ceramic parts

The additive manufacturing of ceramic parts is based on similar manufacturing technologies to those used for plastic and/or metal parts, which address the same issues (accessibility, material, topology and precision). The differences lie mainly in the process of obtaining deposited systems and in post-processing operations, which are generally more complex for ceramic parts, notably the debinding and sintering phases. These depend on the technology used, and will be discussed in detail in the chapter 4
