CHAMP 3D Printer – Advanced Ceramic Additive Manufacturing
Our cutting-edge CHAMP 3D Printer from Hydra Manufacturing revolutionises ceramic additive manufacturing through its integrated, versatile capabilities.

Technical Description
CHAMP is an acronym for Ceramic Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Platform.
The printer offers a substantial build volume of 300 x 300 x 200 mm, making it ideal for creating large and complex ceramic components. A key feature is its 75 ml refillable canister, enabling mid-print refilling to efficiently handle larger parts without interruption. The auto-change spindle supports up to six different machining tools, enhancing flexibility and efficiency.
The CHAMP 3D Printer employs optimised pastes with low binder content, significantly reducing burnout and sintering times. Integrated processes such as IR drying, real-time inspection, and precision machining ensure superior quality, accuracy, and consistency. In the future enhancements will include automated inspection and defect removal, further elevating print quality and reliability.
