Exceptional facilities :

  • 3D printer for printing ceramics, specifications:

- Primary printing head inFused Deposition Modelling technology – uses ceramic powder dispersed in a solidified polymer;
- Secondary gel-based printing head – uses ceramic powder dispersed in a polymer gel, a minimum size of the gel droplet 0,03 µL!;
- Single mode IR laser for in situ heat treatment and sintering (under development);
- Halogen lamp heater with focusing lens system for in situ heat treatment and sintering (under development);
- Extruder for preparation of filament with ceramic loading;
- Gel preparation equipment;
- Post-printing ex-situ heat treatment equipment (up to 1500°C, also in controlled atmosphere);
- 3D printing with stereolitography (under development);

  • EIS and DC conductivity systems with temperature and atmosphere control (dry and wet atmosphere with possibilities of pO2 compensation in we air);
  • Simultaneous thermal analyzer (Nestzch STA 449 F1 )with capabilities of measurements with various gas partial pressures including varying water partial pressure;
  • Sorption system (Quantachrome iQ Autosorb) allowing measurements of various gases sorption including water sorption studies at elevated temperatures (DSC Nestzch Phoenix).
