πŸ”₯Sintering β€” a key stage in creating durable ceramics after 3D printing.

After printing and firing, the ceramic part is not yet ready β€” it is fragile and porous, like a dry sponge. To turn it into real, hard ceramics, sintering is performed.

❓What is it?
This is a process where the product is heated to very high temperatures β€” from 1100 to 1700β€―Β°C, depending on the material. The ceramic particles fuse together, like snow under the sun, turning from a loose mass into a dense, monolithic structure.

πŸ”¬Why is it needed?
- Removes tiny pores and voids.
- Increases strength, heat resistance, and long service life.
- The surface becomes smoother and harder.

πŸ”œ How it happens:
- The part is slowly heated to avoid cracking from temperature changes.
- Sintering lasts up to two days with pauses for even heating.

Then the product is also slowly cooled β€” and you get ready dense ceramics.

After sintering, the ceramics are ready for use β€” strong, smooth, and beautiful.
