Abstract
Abstract A variety of advanced ceramic components were fabricated using the fused deposition of ceramics (FDC) process. In FDC, ceramic loaded polymer filaments are used to build parts in a layer-by-layer fashion. A process map, based on the compressive strength and modulus of the FDC feedstock, was developed to predict the feasibility of deposition with a variety of FDC filaments. Alumina structures with photonic bandgap properties were deposited for high frequency (GHz) applications. Net shape bismuth titanate components with oriented grains were fabricated by pre-alignment of small volume of seeds in green FDC parts, followed by grain growth treatment. Piezoelectric actuators with novel structures such as spiral and bellows were manufactured and studied.
