The ceramic-loaded liquid (or slurry) is automatically dosed and coated on top of a transparent vat. The movable building platform is dipped into the slurry, which is then selectively exposed to visible light from below the vat. The layer image is generated via a digital micromirror device (DMD) coupled with a state-of-the-art projection system. By repeating this process, a three-dimensional green part can be generated layer-by-layer. The LCM technology leverages decades of ceramic powder processing experience. By using the same powders and furnaces as injection molding, ceramic parts with outstanding mechanical properties and surface quality are produced. Following thermal post-processing, the binder is removed and the green parts are sintered, resulting in fully-dense ceramic parts
