Our Ceramic 3D print Farm
With over 150 Ceramics 3D printers, we have the biggest ceramics printing farm in the country, bespoke for mass production, cost-effective, and complex ceramic components used in aerospace, energy, and chemical industries
Currently, our main production focus is on Silica, Alumina, and Zircona ceramics, but we have ongoing research projects on silicon-carbide, beta-alumina, and ferromagnets as well.
Our resin and composit 3D print Farm
We have over 100 polymer printers capable of printing all ranges of polymers, as well as polymer-matrix composites of ceramic, metal, fiber, magnet, and others. We design, test, and manufacture all our materials, resins, composites, and ceramics in-house, thanks to our strong team of material scientists, our fully equipped material characterisation lab, strong collaborations with monomer and additive suppliers, and our in-house mixing capabilities.
AM-COE enjoys both high-end research facilities as well as manufacturing capabilities, with a preliminary focus on material design for vat photopolymerisaton 3D-printing used in prototyping and mass-manufacturing of the casting patterns and ceramic cores, used in the industrial gas turbines and jet engines, as well as other high-temperature ceramics and technical polymers for the aerospace, energy, automotive, and oil&gas sectors.
AM-COE in collaborations with 10 dimensions has designed and manufactured commercial DLP ceramic and metal 3D printers in different sizes and in both top-down and bottom-up technologies to cover a wide variety of loaded inks for different applications. Our price strategy is to make these printers available to mainstream manufacturing. Here at AM-COE, we offer our clients a complete solution, from 3D printers to ink and material development, from pre-printing to post-printing optimisation, and from development projects to mass manufacturing set ups.
AM Centre of Excellence is strategically located in Derby, close to Rolls Royce and Bombardier facilities and other clients and suppliers, and within three hours distance to all major cities, manufacturing centres, and airports in England.
We aim to initiate new links and maintain our existing partnership and collaboration with the main Universities and research centres in the Midland, including Loughborough University, University of Nottingham, Derby University, Nottingham Trent University, Sheffield University, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), and Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), to conduct industry-led joint-research programmes.
