Ceramic powders in 3D printing are mainly used for printing cups, plates, and other cutlery items. Ceramic prototypes are also used in high-temperature applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. One of the emerging forms of ceramic powders is in the 3D printing of medical implants. Ceramic powders are also used in 3D prototyping of patient-specific implants (PSIs). Growing research activities on bio-ceramics for usage in bone implants is expected to significantly drive the market growth of the 3D printing ceramics in the coming years. Various other products, such as alumina-silica powder and glazed ceramics, are also in the testing phase in the construction sector and various other applications. The 3D printing ceramics industry is currently in its initial growth stage and faces numerous challenges.
