Abstract
THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING![Figure][1] Polymer-derived ceramic lattices exhibit high thermal shock resistance and low thermal conductivity PHOTO: 2015 HRL LABORATORIES - PHOTO BY DAN LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY Some materials, such as thermoplastics and metals, are naturally suited to being 3D printed because the individual particles can be fused together by applying heat. In contrast, ceramics do not fuse together the same way. Eckel et al. developed a way to pattern specific preceramic monomers using either 3D printing or stereolithography into complex, curved, and porous shapes. Upon heating, they observed almost no shrinkage, and the formed parts showed exceptional thermal stability. Science , this issue p. [58][2] [1]: pending:yes [2]: /lookup/doi/10.1126/science.aad2688
