While ceramic components perform exceptionally well in extreme environments—exhibiting high temperature resistance, chemical stability and mechanical strength—current methods of ceramic 3D printing fall short on scalability. This shortcoming limits their use in critical applications such as high‐throughput chemical reactors, which are used for pharmaceutical or chemical processing, where large, leak‐proof parts are essential.
