3D printing technology enters the sanitary ceramics industry

China is a large country in the production of sanitary ceramics, and the demand for sanitary ceramics has been increasing year by year. Although the production process is constantly updated and optimized, some problems caused by the production process of sanitary ceramics, such as long cycle, scarce dependence and unavoidable resources. But along with the continuous renewal of 3 d printing technology, optimization of material and printing equipment upgrading, many a ceramics product can be through the inkjet printing light curing hierarchical entities manufacturing, laser sintering constituency, paste directly to write lines and other commonly used way eventually forming, and through the 3 d printing technology to produce sanitary ceramics products is also very stable, accurate and efficient. This shows that 3D printing technology can solve some problems in the production of sanitary ceramics, and can be used as a new production process means to enter the production of sanitary ceramics industry.

The production of traditional sanitary ceramics can be divided into seven processes: film preparation, slurry preparation, Pearl River forming embryo body drying, glazing, firing, inspection and packaging. Each process only completes a single processing of intermediate products. This production mode inevitably leads to the consumption of a large amount of resources and time in each process. Adding 3D ceramic printing technology to the traditional porcelain manufacturing process can make up for the shortcomings of the traditional production process, optimize the production rate and shorten the production time.

Modern sanitary ceramic products are in great demand, but most of their shapes are similar, and some of them retain certain uniqueness. However, to achieve niche customization, traditional sanitary ceramic production is very expensive due to limitations such as equipment molds, operation standardization and so on. However, 3D printing technology can complete a number of different forms of products in the pre-preset model data at one time, and can achieve personalized customization according to the different needs of users, which is far lower than the traditional custom production of sanitary ceramics.

The Internet era provides a new entry point for the development of 3D printing into the sanitary ceramics industry. Through platforms such as small programs or fast applications, users can be broken in terms of time and region, and the consumer market can be broadened to a certain extent. 3 d printing technology is a new ceramic technology, the development of ceramics industry for the future brought more selective and possibilities, but because of objective conditions, the present technical material and printing equipment research and development, etc, there are certain realistic factors, but the prospects for development prospect to be reckoned with, and pay attention to personnel training, accumulated successful experience, 3D printing technology can become a new innovative development point in the field of sanitary ceramics production.
