| description | Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are materials that can be engineered for high-temperature applications in various fields including aerospace, marine, etc. It is very difficult to fabricate CMCs using traditional moulding methods due to their brittleness and high hardness. Additive manufacture (AM) technology, a digital manufacturing technology, provides multiple advantages over traditional manufacturing technologies, such as fabricating geometrically complex parts, mould-free fabrication, short development cycle, etc. In this paper, various AM technologies developed for CMCs are reviewed with emphasis on mechanisms of manufacturing, characteristics of production, and recent research progresses. With the springing up of innovative ideas and pioneering work, AM technology possesses unique forming capabilities in fabricating CMCs, demonstrating strong potentials in the application of CMCs in aerospace and other fields. However, there are still many challenges of CMCs fabricated by AM technologies, i.e. poor mechanical properties and geometric accuracies; lower reinforcement volume fraction than that of traditional manufacturing processes. |
