By taking advantage of the multi-functional properties of preceramic polymers, their transformation into ceramic material at low sintering temperatures and the processing capabilities of polymer manufacturing processes, mullite components were fabricated by additive manufacturing. A photocurable silicone preceramic polymer resin containing alumina particles was shaped into complex structures via Digital Light Processing. Dense and crack-free, highly complex porous mullite ceramics were produced by firing a mixture of a commercially available photosensitive polysiloxane as the silica source, containing alumina powder as active filler, in air at a low sintering temperature (1300 °C). In particular, the developed formulations, coupled with the additive manufacturing approach, allow for precise control of the architecture of the porous ceramic components, providing better properties compared to parts with stochastic porosity.
