The 5th Ceramic 3D Printing Meetings took place in Limoges on December 3, 2025, coinciding with International 3D Printing Day. Organized by GFC, Nanoe, 3DCeram, Novadditive, and the European Ceramic Center, the event gathered researchers, engineers, and manufacturers to discuss recent advances in additive manufacturing for ceramics.
Hosted at 3DCeram’s facilities, the day-long program focused on scientific and technological developments in ceramic 3D printing. Topics included multi-material printing, high-performance composites, and novel sintering processes. A pre-event visit of the 3DCeram site was held on December 2.
Advances in multi-materials
The opening session featured presentations on 3D printing of ceramic glass by Inès Laurent of IRCER, and on dynamic molding techniques for hydroxyapatite-based cranio-maxillofacial bone repair by Maëna Galeron of CIRIMAT. Elsa Nouguier from SIMAP presented a study on ceramic–metal composites produced through 3D extrusion and the modeling of their sintering process.
Guest speaker Jean-Daniel Penot from France Additive delivered an overview of additive manufacturing in France, outlining national progress in research and industrial deployment.
Emerging sintering methods
Subsequent sessions explored co-printing and co-sintering of ferrites for magnetic core optimization, additive manufacturing of silicon carbide (SiC) for nuclear applications, and the use of high-temperature ceramic materials in aerospace and Earth observation instruments. Presentations were delivered by researchers from CEA, ONERA, and Thales.
The event concluded with a session on Selective Acoustic Sintering, presented by Marine Bertucchi from Aithra, highlighting a process that enables the transformation of ceramic powders into solid parts in a single step.
Throughout the day, poster sessions and networking breaks provided opportunities for discussion among participants. Organizers described the event as a platform for strengthening collaboration across the scientific and industrial ceramic 3D printing community.
