We report on a recent workshop dedicated to additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics that was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in November 2019. This two-day all-invited meeting brought together experts from industry, government agencies and academia to review the state of the field and identify the most pressing applied materials research and metrology issues which, if addressed, could accelerate the incorporation of AM methods into commercial ceramic manufacturing. Besides the AM technologies, the discussions included consideration of the necessary post-processing steps. We highlight some of the successes and challenges for the adoption of ceramics AM on an industrial scale, as viewed by the workshop participants. We also propose actions for the ceramic community to facilitate the wider commercialization of these fabrication methods.
我们报告了2019年11月在国家标准与技术研究院（NIST）举办的一场关于陶瓷增材制造（AM）的近期研讨会。这次为期两天的全受邀会议汇聚了来自行业、政府机构和学术界的专家，以审视该领域的现状，并确定最紧迫的应用材料研究和计量问题，若能解决这些问题，可加速将增材制造方法纳入商业陶瓷制造。除了增材制造技术，讨论还包括对必要后处理步骤的考量。我们着重介绍了研讨会参与者眼中在工业规模上采用陶瓷增材制造的一些成功之处和挑战。我们还为陶瓷界提出了促进这些制造方法更广泛商业化的行动建议。
