Abstract
A computer-controlled ink-jet printing method for ceramic components is discussed. Computer-controlled ink-jet printing allows the designer the composition and spatial arrangement of individual volume elements in homogeneous or composite structures on a length scale defined by droplet size. The printer comprises two phase-change ink-jet printing heads, capable of operating in the temperature range 100-120°C, each delivering a different material. To work as a reliable manufacturing system, ink-jet printers must produce consistent drop sizes, and these drops must lead to a consistent quality of solid deposits.
