Abstract: Polymer-derived ceramics have excellent properties, such as oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which have been developed rapidly in the last 50 years since they were proposed. They have shown potential applications in the fields of aerospace, machinery, energy, information and microelectronics. In recent years, with the development of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) technology, the development of polymer-derived ceramics with 3D printing has attracted more and more attention. This is simply because 3D printing breaks through the technical bottleneck in preparing polymer-derived ceramic parts with special shapes, thus opening up a new way to expand the production and application of polymer-derived ceramics. Aiming at the application of 3D printing technology in the preparation of polymer-derived ceramics, this paper is aimed to summarize the research status and progress in polymer-derived ceramics by using stereolithography-based 3D printing and direct ink writing. Also, the development foreground of 3D printing technology of polymer-derived ceramics in the future was prospected.
Key words: polymer-derived ceramics; 3D printing; stereolithography-based 3D printing; direct ink writing
