Abstract
Rapid prototyping of ceramics is accomplished with stereolithography by using an SLA machine to build the ceramic green from a UV‐curable suspension of ceramic powders ‐ a “ceramic resin”. Objects are later sintered in a separate furnace to complete the process. Aluminium oxide resins based on hexanediol diacrylate are characterized for curing behaviour by photo‐rheology and differential photo calorimetry with a UV lamp, and with an HeCd laser using “windowpanes”, single strings, and walls.
