Additive Manufacturing technologies of ceramic components are powder technological routes includingsubsequent debindering and sintering steps. So far, AM methods for ceramics are limited to singlematerial applications. Goal of the European Project CerAMfacturing was to develop multi materialcomponents by additive manufacturing methods for personalized medical products. For that purpose,two AM methods – Fused Filament Fabrication and Thermoplastic 3D Printing – have been developedfor a multi material approach by combining zirconia with stainless steel. The presentation will introducefeedstock-based ceramic AM methods and will discuss the requirements necessary in the process suchas in the materials development for combining ceramics with metals in general and by both AM methods.Special focus will be laid on the adjustment of the shrinking behaviour of the ceramic and the metalliccomponent for the co-sintering process. A special high-energy milling process needed for increasing thetotal shrinkage of the steel powder is introduced.
