Description
Zirconia is a widely used material in the field of technical ceramics. It has an excellent shock and bending resistance. Ideal for creating original pieces in the luxury sector, Zirconia parts can be craft to obtain pieces with beautiful matte, brushed, polished or mirror like finish.
Advantages:
- High density
- Tooling
- Prototypes and appearance parts
- Black matte finish look that can be polish for a glossy appearance

Filament Storage
It is very important to protect the filament from moisture and moist air to keep the print quality. Always store the filament in the heated chamber, vacuum sealed (with desiccant), or in a dry-box.
1. Print Settings
Select ZYYX – Black Zirconia in Simplify3D. The model needs to be scaled up to 127.4% in x+y and 126.8% in z to compensate for sintering shrinkage.
If used with other printers, we recommend
2. Chemical Debinding
2 hours in an acetone bath at 40 °C (it depends on the geometry of the part), stop the heat a couple of hours before removing it from the bath.
Finally 2 hours drying in ambient atmosphere.
3. Thermal Debinding
From 50 °C to 500 °C with a 8 °C/h ramp, 2 hours holding time.
4. Sintering
In a high temperature furnace in air atmosphere, up to 1475 °C with a 50 °C/h ramp. 2 hours holding time. Cooling 100 °C/h.
