Transforming Semiconductor Production
Ceramic materials are used where metals and polymers fail, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing, where harsh environments demand superior durability. Components in these industries face rapid wear from exposure to reactive gases and corrosive chemicals.
Lithoz’s LCM (Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing) 3D printing technology produces parts with the exceptional material properties of high-performance ceramics, such as exceptional chemical corrosion resistance, minimal surface roughness and outstanding thermal resistance. These qualities significantly extend the lifespan of critical components, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency. A major part of the solution also lies within the smart design of those parts. By realizing parts with previously unachievable complexities through the design freedom offered by LCM technology, this next generation of critical spare parts significantly boosts production output.
Advancing Aerospace Engineering
The aerospace sector demands components capable of withstanding extreme environments—high temperatures, thermal shocks, and corrosive conditions. Even the toughest metals and alloys wear down quickly under these stresses.
Lithoz’s LCM technology empowers the production of high-performance ceramic parts from materials such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, and alumina. These parts offer exceptional strength, toughness, and resistance to thermal and chemical stresses, ensuring superior performance and longevity. The consolidation of multiple components into a single, integrated ceramic part also reduces weight, improves structural efficiency, and minimizes failure points.
This innovative approach enables the design of propulsion systems and other aerospace components that are lighter, more efficient, and more durable, meeting the sector’s relentless drive for higher performance.
Revolutionizing MedTech Applications with Bioceramics
Ceramic materials, particularly calcium phosphates, have transformed medical applications due to their bioresorbable properties. Implants made from such ceramic materials are gradually replaced by natural bone, eliminating the need for secondary surgeries.
With Lithoz’s LCM technology, patient-specific implants can be produced with complex geometries that mimic natural bone structure. These implants promote efficient healing and regrowth while expanding possibilities for customized treatments. Bioceramic implants work seamlessly alongside metal components, offering enhanced recovery and outcomes for patients.
