📌 FAQ

What makes a ceramic powder suitable for 3D printing?
A good ceramic powder combines rounded grains, a narrow particle size distribution, and sufficient flowability. These properties ensure smooth layer spreading, stable feedstock incorporation, and reliable processing of complex geometries.

Why choose Baikowski® spray-dried powders for additive manufacturing?
Spray-drying improves powder dispersion and flow, which enables finer printed layers and more uniform spreading. This results in higher printing accuracy and better final part quality.

How can binders enhance the surface quality of printed ceramics?
Proper binder formulations improve adhesion and layer coverage, helping reduce surface defects and delivering a smoother finish.

How do slurry properties influence ceramic 3D printing performance?
A slurry must combine high solid loading with low viscosity to flow easily while stabilizing after each layer. Optimizing dispersant type and concentration ensures both rheological stability and consistent layer building.

How does particle size distribution impact printing resolution?
A controlled PSD with limited agglomeration improves slurry stability and light penetration in SLA/DLP systems, allowing higher-resolution features and sharper geometries in the final parts.

What support does Baikowski® provide to 3D printing users?
Beyond standard grades, Baikowski® co-develops tailored powders and slurries by adjusting morphology, doping, and dispersion systems. This ensures compatibility with customer-specific printing processes and sintering requirements.
