Ceramaker 100
Though the Ceramaker 100 is smaller in stature to the 900, its capabilities are equally as vast, maintaining the same technological capacity.
Advanced ceramics manufacturer, 3DCeram has launched the Ceramaker 100 3D printer, the younger brother of its Ceramaker 900 machine, released in 2015.
With this smaller 3D ceramic printing system, 3DCeram is aiming to create a wide range of industrial 3D printers that meet the needs of their clients and adapt to a continually evolving market. Though the Ceramaker 100 is smaller in stature to the 900, its capabilities are equally as vast, maintaining the same technological capacity.
“3DCeram’s 3D ceramic printing solutions are designed for ceramic manufacturers, user-integrators working with ceramic components, luxury goods companies, biomedical firms and almost any industrial group,” Richard Gaignon, the co-director of 3DCeram said. “By launching this new printer, we aim to facilitate and accelerate innovation. Thanks to the powerful technology on board, our clients can unlock their development potential – especially our partners in research institutes.”
The compact design of the Ceramaker 100 uses the same features and offers the same advantages of its older brother. These include a reliable design, the ability to produce high quality ceramics, a large printing surface, settings open for modification and the offer of free link support technology.

3DCeram’s latest machine also encompasses laser technology, enabling ceramic components to be directly manufactured from a CAD file, without any break in the digital chain. The use of this technology ensures a 30µm resolution across the entire platform, no matter what size of object is being printed, and smoothed contours to reduce the layering effect inherent to 3D printing.
And while the Ceramkaer 100 is an effective machine in its own right, 3DCeram has relied heavily on the features of the Ceramker 900, which proved successful.
“After six years used within our own company, the Ceramaker 900 was released in winter 2015 and was an immediate hit with our clients,” added Gaignon. “They loved the technology, the performance and the production capacity. The logical next step was to offer the same capabilities in a smaller and more flexible unit, offering an alternative that could meet the needs of companies which wanted the same results but were unable to house large production machines. This is how the Ceramaker 100 came to being.”
After the launch of a smaller machine, 3DCeram will also be offering a printing system for companies wanting to build larger parts. The Ceramaker 9100, an XXL printer with a printing surface of 900 x 900, will be unveiled later this year.
