THE 3D PRINTING REVOLUTION

Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows us to create three-dimensional objects layer by layer, offering complex designs with fewer geometric limitations than traditional methods. This technology, which uses everything from polymers to metals, has evolved to allow for custom parts made of materials such as ceramics and composites. Techniques include extrusion deposition, vat photopolymerization, and fused deposition modeling. At DIOPMA, we implement advanced AM technologies such as Direct Ink Writing (DIW), Stereolithography-based Additive Manufacturing (SLA), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), catering to diverse needs.

En DIOPMA implementamos  tecnologías AM avanzadas como la escritura directa con tinta (DIW), la fabricación aditiva basada en estereolitografía (SLA) y el modelado por deposición fundida (FDM), adaptándose a diversas necesidades.

robocasting or direct ink writing

We work on extruding viscous pastes to form 3D objects layer by layer, specializing in solid-loaded pastes for ceramics and metals. Our focus includes research on hydrogels and rheological characterization, enabling the manufacture of highly compatible multi-component parts.

stereolithography-based additive manufacturing

We use this technique to create three-dimensional objects by curing layer by layer photosensitive polymers with radiation. Our research focuses on suspending highly concentrated solids for final ceramic pieces and reinforced composites, requiring post-printing thermal processes for sintering, leveraging our expertise and equipment in formulation and heat treatment.

fused deposition modelling

At DIOPMA, we work with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to extrude reinforced polymeric filaments, creating three-dimensional objects layer by layer. Our research focuses on developing and characterizing polymeric composite materials, optimizing their formulation for advanced and specific applications.

LOW-COST ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Our research encompasses the development of specialized materials for CO2 capture and sequestration, as well as research in functional materials, including magnetic ones, which have promising applications. These projects are aligned with sustainability and energy efficiency goals, addressing current environmental challenges.
