Ceramics Manufacturing Module (CMM)
OVERVIEW
Redwire’s Ceramics Manufacturing Module (CMM)
uses a technique called additive stereolithography
(SLA) to cure ceramic resin into solid ceramic parts.
The process uses a light source to cure resin in very
thin layers. Each new layer adheres to the previous
one, stacking up to form a complete ceramic part.
Ceramics manufacturing offers a unique capability to
our in-space partners, one that can produce
hardware with high thermal resistance. Furthermore,
it also offers capability to our commercial partners
here on Earth.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
Build Volume:
- CMM makes use of a circular build platform with a diameter of 80 millimeters (3.15 inches). This equates to a cross-sectional build area of 5000 square millimeters (7.8 square inches)
- Vertically, the build platform can translate 30
millimeters (1.2 inches) allowing CMM to print
parts of that height or shorter - CMM total build volume is 150,000 cubic
millimeters (9.2 cubic inches) - The build chamber carries 206 milliliters of
ceramic resin for printing
Power Level:
- CMM draws approximately 75-80 watts of power during printing operations
Resin Capabilities:
- CMM can print using several different resins
- Tethon 3D’s Porcelite® can be SLA printed at 25 micron layer thickness
- After firing Tethon 3D’s Porcelite® parts in a kiln, they can withstand temperatures greater than 1000 degrees Celsius (1800 degrees Fahrenheit)
