About.

AMAREA® origins go back to the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS in Dresden - Europe's largest applied research institute for ceramics. Here, the founders developed Multi-Material Jetting (MMJ) technology in response to the limitations of existing 3D printing processes for Multi-Material 3D printing with high-performance materials. In 2017, our co-founder Steven succeeded in producing the world's first Multi-Material 3D printed ceramic component.

Originally known as "thermoplastic 3D printing" the breakthrough came with oxide ceramics and a novel combination of stainless steel with zirconia. The EU project CerAMfacturing further deepened the understanding of materials and processes. By 2017, the technology was able to produce components with up to four different materials. Further Fraunhofer-internal projects led to the development of functionalized materials, including borosilicate glass, and near-net-shape tool blanks. In 2018, an IKTS-internal project led to a new generation of MMJ devices that will form the basis for the EXIST research transfer program of Federal Ministry for Economics and Climate Action - BMWK, named CerAM MMJ (03EFQSN180) which started in 2021 and is still going on.
