Improving the return on R&D investments

TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY

The current invention provides a new method of producing 3D ceramic lattices for use in catalytic applications. The method combines additive manu facturing techniques and metallic heat oxidation treatments.

BENEFITS

  • Less cost: The method provides a much cheaper solution in comparison with current methods on the market.
  • Better quality: The methods provides full control over the spatial configuration of the material. In addition it provides higher control of the inner structure of a porous or lattice-type ceramic.

APPLICATIONS

The ceramic lattices obtained by the current method can benefit different applications such as:

  • Crude hydro-processing
  • Emission purification
  • Heat exchange
  • Biomedical applications
  • Artificial tissue
