Zetamix kit

3D printing in ceramic and metal

We bring an innovative technology to the region for 3D printing in metal and ceramic.

The Zetamix kit we offer at AMS combines three high-quality products: a Raise3D Pro2 or MakerBot Replicator+ 3D printer, the «Debinding kit» debinding station, and the ZETASINTER 4L sintering furnace.

How does it work?

Like other ceramic processes, Zetamix parts are produced in three steps: modeling (printing), debinding, and sintering. When these steps are complete, printed parts can reach up to 99% density for ceramics and between 90 and 95% for metals.

Step by step

Printing

Our filaments are compatible with most FDM machines. For best results, printers with a direct-drive extrusion system are recommended.

Ceramic powder is mixed with a binder so it can be shaped. After printing, the part is not yet finished—it is in the «green» state. To match industrially manufactured properties, it must be debound and sintered.

If you do not yet have a printer, we offer a Raise3D Pro2 or MakerBot Replicator+, fully compatible with ZETAMIX filaments.

Debinding

Debinding removes the binder. Zetamix parts are debound in an acetone bath at 40 °C. At the end of this step, the part mass is reduced.

Sintering

Sintering heats the part to very high temperatures, between 250 and 1500 °C. The part densifies and reaches its final mechanical properties. After sintering, density can be up to 99% for ceramics and 95% for metals. Expect about 15–20% shrinkage.

This step uses the Zetasinter 4L tubular furnace to sinter H13, 316L, and 17-4 PH parts in a controlled atmosphere.

Tube inner diameter: 140 mm
Capacity: 4 L
Maximum temperature: 1350 °C
Power: 6 kW – 220 V
Tube length: 150 cm total, 30 cm with controlled temperature (±10 °C)
Controlled-atmosphere sintering for H13, 17-4 PH, and 316L parts
Ideal for prototyping and small-batch production
Easy to operate

Finishing

After the furnace, parts can be hand-polished or finished in a rotary polishing process for a brighter look. For metal parts, sandblasting also yields excellent results.
