3D printing technology is widely used in aerospace,automotive,medical,weapons and other fields because of its advantages of high processing accuracy,low cost,easy operation and flexible manufacturing. Combining 3D printing technology with ceramic molding manufacturing can solve many problems caused by the use of traditional ceramic manufacturing technology. 3D printing technology mainly includes ink-jet printing technology,direct ink writing molding technology,stereolithography molding technology,fused deposition of ceramic molding technology,and selective laser sintering molding technology. In this paper,the characteristics and research progress of each 3D printing technology are summarized,the ceramic slurry preparation and post-processing process in the light-curing molding technology are expounded,the application of finite element numerical simulation in the field of 3D ceramic printing technology is discussed,the characteristics and application status of silicon oxide,silicon carbide,alumina,zirconia,ceramic precursor,and tricalcium phosphate ceramic are analyzed,and finally the current problems and future development potential of ceramic 3D printing technology are summarized.
