Novel Hybrid Additive-Subtractive Technology for Production of Precise and Hard Zirconia Parts
A project supported by the International Visegrad Fund — visegradfund.org
Lead institution
Poznan University of Technology, Institute of Mechanical Technology (Poland)
Implementation period
10.2026 – 03.2028 (18 months)
Funding programme

Project description
The project team will develop a novel hybrid technology for fabricating parts made of zirconia ceramics characterized by a very high surface finish. The technology combines a sequential 3D printing (additive manufacturing) process of zirconia with ultra-precision micromilling, using the research laboratories of the project's international partners, in order to achieve a high-quality surface finish and geometrical accuracy.
