Effects of exposure time and printing angle on the curing characteristics and flexural strength of ceramic samples fabricated via digital light processing

• The development of photosensitive slurries for additive manufacturing has attracted great interest due to their correlation with the final properties of the fabricated parts. This paper focus on the printing quality control in digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing of advanced ceramics. Systematic experiments were performed to assess the effects of the exposure time and printing angle on the three-point bending strength of the fabricated samples. The exposure time affected the bending strength of the printed zirconia ceramic dramatically. When the weak exposure time is 1 s and the strong exposure time is 13 s, the average bending strength can reach 580 MPa while Weibull modulus can reach 8.84. Meanwhile, the printing angle also affected the bending strength mechanical sample printed at 45 degrees exhibits the worst performance.
