Ceramic Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing: A Literature Review on Density

Abstract

The objective of this review paper is to summarize the current status and identify the knowledge gaps in ceramic binder jetting additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on density. This paper begins with an overview of ceramic binder jetting. Then, it discusses different aspects of density, including various terminologies, measurement methods, and achieved values. Afterward, it reviews two categories of techniques to increase the part density: material preparation techniques (powder granulation, mixing powders of different sizes, using slurry feedstock, and mixing different materials) and postprocessing techniques (sintering, chemical reaction, infiltration, and isostatic pressing). Finally, it presents the knowledge gaps in the literature.
