SINTX is a premier provider of ceramic-filled resins for the 3D printing applications, specializing in proprietary alumina, silica, and zirconia blends for stereolithography. We offer both production-ready and custom-developed ceramic resins, designed for efficient, high-resolution printing.
TOP APPLICATIONS OF ADVANCED CERAMICS
ARMOR
Advanced ceramics such as boron carbide, silicon carbide, and magnesium aluminate spinel play a significant role in armor production, providing various degrees of protection along with other unique benefits. While boron carbide’s light weight makes it ideal for aircraft armor, spinel’s transparency and high hardness render it indispensable for the manufacture of optical components used in both air and ground vehicles.
