Premiere at the fair Formnext in Frankfurt: The world‘s largest printer for ceramic 3D was presented to the public for the first time. In 2020, this 3D printer will be installed at Alumina Systems in Redwitz / R.. „On the one hand, we are significantly expanding our capacity for ceramic 3D printing,“ emphasized Dr. med.

Dr. Wampers added: „On the other hand, with this printer, we will be able to produce dense ceramic parts up to a dimension of 500 x 500 x 250 mm (sintered).“ At the Alumina Systems booth, Dr. Ing.
