Lithoz GmbH is the global market and technology leader for ceramic 3D printing systems and materials. Their Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing technology has applications in industry, medicine and dentistry, as well as serial production. Using the industry-leading LCM technology patented by Lithoz, additively manufactured components can now achieve the same material properties as those produced through conventional manufacturing methods. In addition, Lithoz offers application and material development to its customers in cooperation with renowned research institutes all over the world. Lithoz was founded in 2011 by Dr. Johannes Homa and Dr. Johannes Benedikt as a spin-off of TU Vienna. The company has an export share of almost 100%, over 150 employees and, since 2017, a subsidiary in the USA and China. Lithoz has also been ISO 9001-2015 certified since 2016.
The interdisciplinary collaboration of specialists in the fields of mechanical engineering, process engineering and chemistry has led to the development of a powerful manufacturing system, which enables the production of ceramic parts for industrial, medical and dental use. The industrial CeraFab System family, made up of the S65, S230 and S25, are already in use worldwide for the successful series production of highly complex and accurate parts. Using the CeraFab System S65 Medical, patient-specific ceramic parts can be manufactured for medical applications, such as implants. The CeraFab Multi 2M30, as a multi-material 3D printer, can combine ceramics with ceramics, ceramics with metals and ceramics with polymers within a single component and even a single layer. With the CeraFab Lab L30, Lithoz has introduced an entry-level ceramic 3D printer for new players in the industry, as well as for lab use. Alongside the range of machines, Lithoz also produce trusted ceramic materials, including alumina, zirconia and silicon nitride. As ceramic experts, Lithoz has also developed innovative combinations such as alumina-toughened zirconia, zirconia-toughened alumina and aluminium nitride.
