Ackuretta, the manufacturer of high-precision prosumer grade Digital Light Processing 3D printers based in Taipei, Taiwan, announced the addition of a new ceramic resin to its Qura resin line.
For anyone wanting to create ceramic 3D prints, choosing the right material is mandatory. Theres now a new contender to this market too, the Ackuretta ceramic resin.
The new resin from the Digital Light Processing 3D printer manufacturer is part of its Qura resin line. The company is describing its new material as an advanced and pioneering ceramic resin.
Ackuretta explains in a press release: While traditionally ceramic parts required expensive industrial machinery, the pioneering material provides a unique, accessible solution for ceramic parts.
The material is useful for 3D printing ceramic objects which require high-resolution detail. As well as this, it is also capable of printing at 25 layer thickness.
After the print is complete, its possible to fire it and produce a fully ceramic, porcelain-like finish. Other benefits of the ceramic resin include a high resistance to wear and corrosion, high thermal resistance and electrical insulation.
Applications for the New Ackuretta Ceramic Resin
Ackuretta explains in its press release that there are many applications of ceramic resin including research projects, adding: NASA and the military have allocated a large amount of resources for the development of ceramic parts due to its ability to resist fire penetration and electrical conductivity.
Other applications for 3D printed ceramics include in fine arts, where the material and technology makes intricate design possible, architecture, specialized manufacturing, and engineering.
The Ackuretta Ceramic Resin is now available worldwide, get a quote from the website. It can be used with a wide array of third-party 3D printers as well as the Ackuretta Ackuray Series and the Ackuretta Diplo professional grade 3D Printer.

This sounds promising.
Maybe it could print a heat shield for a space capsule. It could do it without gaps that allowed tiles to break off of the space shuttle.
The dress is from my wife who got it in Italy when she was a child.
Try making that with your fancy 3D printer.
” include in fine arts, where the material and technology makes intricate design possible”
“art” created by a machine isn’t art to me. Once I realized that practically all of the beautiful designs carved into furniture are done by a CNC machine, I quit considering them works of art or craftsmanship.
I will say, though, that the original from which the duplicates are made might be considered a work of art.
My final take is that the 3d printers, CNC machines, etc., are duplicators, not creators.
Reminds me of Diehard 2....the fictional ceramic Glock.
That’s a lot of surface area. Shuttle surface area was YUGE!
Invisible gun scenario strikes again.
The creators are sitting with a computer, drawing in a 3D CAD program. THAT's where the artistry occurs.
“The creators are sitting with a computer, drawing in a 3D CAD program. THAT’s where the artistry occurs”
If they are creating the original then it’s art similar to videogame art, or animated movie art.
