Advances in additive manufacturing have led to a range of techniques to produce ceramics with complex geometries. This case study investigates the printability of ceria with a range of densities and microstructures using the Lithoz CeraFab 8500 system.

Cerium oxide, or ceria, is widely and historically known for its use as an abrasive, particularly to help polish specialized glasses,¹ such as telescope mirrors. But lately, this rare earth metal oxide has gained substantial attention in advanced technological applications as well, including photo- and electrocatalysis,^2,3 fuel cells,⁴ and more recently, medicine.⁵
