THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
“We support our customers throughout the manufacturing process chain, beginning from the designing phase to the end of post-processing phase,” explains Dr Johannes Homa, CEO of Lithoz. To help companies scale AM at the industrial level, Lithoz offers customer-specific solutions, along with expert and specialist advice across the entire value chain from conception to production and post-processing of the product including hardware and software aspects. Powered by Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology, Lithoz’s industry-oriented 3D printers facilitate efficient serial production of additively manufactured ceramics. The firm’s AM CeraFab System is especially suited to producing highly precise components for complex applications that meet the high levels of density, stability and precision required by the ceramics industry. The CeraFab System incorporates up to four production units with an increased building speed to significantly accelerate time-to-market and productivity.
“Lithoz views its customers as partners and focuses on-boarding them to master our technology swiftly through tailored training and high-quality consultation services,” states Dr Homa. As the leading technology provider of additive manufacturing systems for high-performance ceramics, Lithoz has in-house experts with over a decade of experience in areas such as ceramics engineering and technology, polymer chemistry and software engineering. The company offers various training courses to allow users to gain an in-depth understanding of the operating principles of firm’s 3D Printer which will enable them to optimise AM processes and produce high-quality parts at an industrial level. These training courses are individually tailored to suit different requirements and levels of client’s experience in AM. Customers are supported at every step of the training process with tried and trusted industrial equipment and manufacturing parameters (i.e. printing, debinding, sintering) based on the extensive experience of Lithoz’s engineers and experts.![]()

To further illustrate the efficacy of Lithoz’s solutions, Dr Homa, cites a case-study, where, one of the most prominent nuclear labs in the U.S, Sandia National Labs (SNS), California, approached them for assistance. As a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), SNS had a particular requirement of printing their materials for sensitive applications. Lithoz were able to convert SNS’ ceramic powders into principle form and achieve the desired result. Also, SNS were guided by experts at Lithoz through the process of setting-up their printing in-house. In recent years, the AM industry has made a quantum leap forward by expanding a list of standards as well as developing enhanced and robust systems to create improved materials and solutions. As the industry matures and challenges get addressed, the rate of AM adoption will only increase. Lithoz was founded in 2011 to provide a manufacturing process that enables companies to overcome the limitations of conventional manufacturing methods. The firm’s quality policy was devised, taking into consideration the requirements and circumstances of the ceramics industry. “As industrialisation is a key area for us, we plan to broaden our technological basis further to complement our solutions and offerings,” concludes Dr Homa.
