Specifications

Nanoe is a renowned French company founded in 2008 and specialised in the production of innovative materials. It stands out mainly in the production of ceramic powders, with a production capacity of more than 100 tons of high purity ceramic powder per year.

Taking advantage of the high degree of know-how in the field of ceramics, in 2018 they created the Zetamix brand, the first brand of filaments with technical ceramics aimed at producing all-ceramic parts in an accessible and affordable way.

Nanoe currently has three ceramic filaments for technical applications: White Zirconia, Black Zirconia and Alumina.

Zetamix White Zirconia is a filament consisting of 86% by weight of stabilised white zirconia powder and 14% by weight of binder. White zirconia is a ceramic that combines excellent mechanical properties with a very good aesthetic finish, which is why it is commonly used both in the luxury sector and in industry. It is also widely used in welding products or in the dental prosthetic sector as a cost-effective substitute for porcelain in the production of crowns, although FDM technology is not ideal for the latter application.

Zetamix White Zirconia is a perfect filament to produce jewellery pieces impossible to obtain by traditional cutting, as well as watchmaking elements and components.

Its main industrial applications are the production of refractory components for thermal barriers and elements with high wear resistance.

Zetamix ceramic filaments make it possible to obtain ceramic parts easily in three steps:

Printing: Zetamix ceramic filaments can be easily printed on virtually any direct extruder printer, as they require printing temperatures between 150 and 180 ºC and a base temperature of 40 ºC.

Debinding: Debinding consists of two stages, chemical debinding in acetone using an ultrasonic bath such as Zetadebinder and thermal debinding prior to sintering.
Sintering: Finally, the part is sintered by heat treatment to obtain a completely ceramic part.

Ceramic printing has been a great challenge due to its complexity and high cost. Thanks to Zetamix ceramic filaments, it is possible to obtain complex all-ceramic parts in an economical and simple way.

It is recommended to carefully follow the design guide available in the download tab when designing the parts to be made with Zetamix Alumina.

Printing:

When printing, the following parameters must be applied:

Printing temperature: 180 ºC
Base temperature: 40 ºC
Nozzle size: 0.4 - 1.0 mm
Coating height: 0.3 - 0.1 (0.15 recommended)
Print speed: 20 - 35 mm/s
Shrinkage: 21.2% ± 1% (x, y, z)
Perimeters: At least 2
Filling: 5 % - 100 % Filling: 5 % - 100 % Filling: 5 % - 100 % Filling: 5 % - 100
Top and bottom wall thicknesses: At least 1 mm
Substrates: Supports: Supports in the same material and in soluble materials.
Adhesion to backing: Glass backing and Magigoo adhesive recommended.

Zetamix ceramic filaments are only compatible with direct extruders. The spool should be placed on top of the printer so that the path between the spool and the extruder is as straight as possible.

It is advisable to reduce the extruder tension to a minimum to prevent the filament from deteriorating.

Debinding:

Debinding consists of two stages, a chemical and a thermal stage.

Chemical debinding: The part must be treated for at least 2 hours in an ultrasonic bath with acetone at 40 ºC. Afterwards, the piece must be left to air dry for at least 2 hours. If the treatment has been successful, the piece should lose 5% of its weight.

Heat debinding: The pieces must be placed in a crucible with refractory powder to support the shrinkage of the piece and to serve as a support during the process. A heat treatment should then be applied consisting of heating the parts from 20 ºC to 500 ºC at a rate of 8 ºC/hr. For small parts, the debinding time can be reduced by applying the following heat treatment:

Initial Temperature	Final Temperature	Speed
20	125	35 ºC/h
125	200	50 ºC/h
200	215	22 ºC/h
215	250	11 ºC/h
250	280	20 ºC/h
280	320	8 ºC/h
320	510	24 ºC/h

Sintering:

After debinding, the part must be sintered by applying the following heat treatment:

Heat from 20 ºC up to 1475 ºC at a speed of 50 ºC/h.
Hold at 1475 ºC for 2 hours
Cool to room temperature at a rate of 100 ºC/h
