Recently, Sandvik Additive Manufacturing has created the first3D printingThe diamond, although this diamond does not shine, but it is suitable for various industrial uses.This super-hard composite material can be made in highly complex shapes3D printing, And can completely change the way the industry uses the hardest natural materials on the planet.
By using Lithoz’s ceramics3D printingMachine, using the LCM stereolithography process, Sandvik successfully carried out the diamond3D printing, Almost any shape can be formed. This opens up the possibility of using it in industries that were previously considered impossible.
“We now have the ability to print complex shapes of diamonds through additive manufacturing processes, fundamentally changing the way traditional industries use this material. Up to now, the only limitation on the shape and use of this superhard material depends on The designer’s imagination,” said Mikael Schuisky, head of R&D and operations for Sandvik’s additive manufacturing.
The diamond composite material has been tested and found to have extremely high hardness, excellent thermal conductivity, while also having low density, very good thermal expansion and excellent corrosion resistance. It was unveiled at the RAPID + TCT exhibition in Detroit from May 21 to 23, 2019, which is a grand event in the field of additive manufacturing in North America.
Austria’s Lithoz company is the world’s top ceramics3D printingSupplier of equipment and materials, made by Lithoz Ceramics3D printingThe machine-produced products have a surface roughness of 0.4-0.6 μm and a density of over 99.4%. The physical and chemical properties of the product are equivalent to those of traditional craft products. At present, it can print more than 20 kinds of materials such as alumina, zirconia, tricalcium phosphate, silicon nitride, silicon-based materials, and cermets.
