Abstract Ceramic additive manufacturing allows the fabrication of small series of complex parts without the high costs of molds usually associated with traditional ceramic processing. Although research into ceramic 3D printing by all technologies started back in the 90s, its industrial application is still quite restricted when compared to polymers and metals, which is related to the limited availability and costs of equipment and materials for such applications. This review examined the advantages and limitations of each process (binder jetting, direct ink writing, directed energy deposition, fused deposition, material jetting, selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, and vat photopolymerization), discussing their particularities. It also summarized the commercially available 3D printers and raw materials for ceramic processing, pointing out to trends and challenges of each technology.

se realizó una caracterización mediante difracción de rayos x (DRX) en láminas de acero inoxidable AISI 304 recubierto con una capa de nitruro de titanio de 3 mm de espesor, obtenida mediante deposición física de vapor (PVD-magnetron sputtering) a una temperatura de 200 ˚C. se tomaron imágenes de microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB), microscopía óptica (MO) y microscopía de fuerza atómica (MFA) para caracterizar el sustrato, la capa y la zona cercana a la intercara. adicionalmente se determinó la deformación elástica residual asociada con el ensanchamiento de los picos de DRX.

X Ray Diffraction characterization was carried out on AISI 304stainless steel sheets covered with a 3mm thick titanium nitride film. The deposition technique used was PVD-Magnetron Sputtering at 200 ˚C. The resulting microstructures of the substrate, the film and the interface were studied by Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron (SEM) and Atomic Force (AFM) Microscopes. Residual elastic strain associated with the X- ray diffraction (XRD) broadening peaks was also determined.
