Abstract: Compared with traditional ceramic production, 3D ceramic printing technology has the characteristics of simple operation, high material utilization rate and high degree of refinement. It is mainly used to fabricate ceramics with light curing molding, ink-jet printing, melting deposition molding and so on. Based on the patent database platform of Wisdom Bud, combined with patent analysis methods, the development trend, patent layout and industry-university research cooperation of global patents in 3D ceramic printing technology are summarized and discussed. The global 3D ceramic printing technology is currently in a mature stage of development, while China has become one of the major exporting countries in 3D ceramic printing technology, relying on the technological innovation and industry university research cooperation between Xi’an Jiaotong University and Guangdong University of Technology. Therefore, it is possible to promote the openness of the patents in university and research institutes, strengthen the industry-university research cooperation, and introduce high-tech talents and other aspects to implement the industrialization strategy of China’s 3D ceramic printing technology.
Key words: ceramic 3D printing; patent; industry-university-research cooperation
