Aims

This course deals with the technological basics of advanced bulk polycrystalline ceramics. The emphasis is put on principles of the technologies and on advantages and limits of particular methods resulting from these principles. Modern processing methods such as additive manufacturing methods and CNC milling of ceramic blanks are also included in the technology overview.
