The trick here was to use an \u201cink\u201d consisting of a stable ceramic emulsion that did not collapse during or after printing. Using this technique, it is possible to manufacture complex porous structures like those found in nature in the form of bones or diatoms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethz.ch\/en\/news-and-events\/eth-news\/news\/2016\/10\/ceramics-3d-printed-from-foams.html\">read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An electron microscope reveals the fine structure of the 3D-printed ceramic foam.
