Lithoz is an additive manufacturing company that has developed patentable methods and formulas for fabricating high-performance ceramic products with industrial applications that could not have been realised using traditional technologies. It has created 3D printers, a variety of new ceramic materials and dedicated software for printing production. Before the development of the lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) process, the density and strength of 3D-printed ceramics were not sufficient to meet the standards of the ceramic industry. With its technology and materials, Lithoz now achieves a high level in the material properties of density and strength, and its quality and precision are such that the process can be used for serial production.
