N2 - Stereolithography based additive manufacturing provides a new route to produce ceramic architectures with complex geometries. In this study, 3D structured SiC ceramic architectures were fabricated by stereolithography based additive manufacturing combined with precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP). Firstly, photosensitive SiC slurry was prepared. Then, stereolithography was conducted to fabricate complex-shaped green SiC parts. Polymer burn-out was subsequently performed, and porous SiC preforms were produced. After that, precursor infiltration and pyrolysis was used to improve the density and strength. Finally, 3D-structured SiC ceramic architectures with high accuracy and quality were obtained. It is believed that this study can give some fundamental understanding for the additive manufacturing of SiC ceramic structures.
