Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are developing a reference material, a carefully engineered zirconia slurry, to help ceramic 3D printing produce consistent, reliable parts. The problem it targets is deceptively basic: the wet ceramic feedstocks used to print are notoriously hard to measure accurately, and without a trustworthy way…
