Kyocera International, Inc.’s Fine Ceramics Additive Manufacturing

Kyocera International, Inc.’s Fine Ceramics Group has ceramic additive manufacturing capabilities for printing Alumina and Zirconia, two common materials used in advanced ceramics. Products manufactured with this technology yield the same material characteristics as materials produced via more traditional technologies (HIP, CIP, Injection Molding, Press, etc.) yet allow for the creation of complex geometries and customized shapes, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications. In addition, no tooling is required, first samples can be manufactured quickly, and ramps to thousands of units per week can be achieved within 8 weeks.


Alumina is a versatile ceramic material with high strength, stiffness, and wear resistance. Zirconia has high strength, toughness, and resistance to cracking, making it a good choice for applications where durability is important.


KyoCAM printed ceramic components are excellent solutions for engineers looking for precise pieces, with quick prototyping and mass scale production. With our KyoCAM printing technology you can achieve tight tolerances, small channels, composite shapes, and more.

Rapid Prototypes & High-Volume Production

Our 3D printing rapid prototyping allows for an easy transition to high volume production. Request for Quotes (RFQ) must include: 3D CAD file(s) or a 2D Drawing, expected quantity, lead time and target price. A Solidworks 3D CAD file is preferred to expedite the scaling and layout required. Drawing or written specifications will be required to quote for critical dimensions, tolerances, surface finishes, etc. KyoCAM's expected lead time is quick, most parts can be printed, sintered, inspected, and shipped within 2 to 5 weeks.
