Non Oxides
Non-oxides can be used for several special applications including using Aluminum Nitride for its high thermal conductivity on a propulsion system, or for the high temperature and hardness of Si3N4 with light weight for thermal protection. Let us know how Sinto Advance Ceramics can integrate printed ceramics into your application and help you achieve your goals.
Applications:
- Aluminum Nitride
- Silicon Nitride
- TPS sub structure
- Heat Sinks
- Exoskeleton
- Armor
- Heat Dissipation

¹In development, coming soon
²Firing of nitrides is not currently available in the US and will need to be done at a different site. We expect this capability by early 2027 in the US.
³Keep in mind that all printer volumes are for the raw printer volume – parts typically shrink by 20-30%, so 100 mm may only be ~82 mm of sintered part
