Kyocera Fineceramics Europe GmbH will participate in ceramitec 2026 in Munich from 23 to 26 March this year, marking its return as an exhibitor to the international leading trade fair for the ceramics industry. The company will use the platform to present its expertise in the field of high-performance ceramics—including the production of silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC) and the 3D printing of SiSiC components.

SiSiC as the basis for high-performance industrial components

A particular focus is placed on silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC), which has established itself as a versatile high-performance material. SiSiC is characterised by outstanding mechanical strength, high stiffness, thermal stability and wear resistance. Due to its very low thermal expansion, the material is particularly suitable for applications with the highest precision requirements, such as in aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing or industrial production processes.

Kyocera’s proprietary joining and manufacturing technology enables the production of complex, gas- and water-tight components with fine structures below one millimetre as well as large-format monolithic components.

Additive manufacturing opens new design freedom

In addition to conventional shaping processes, Kyocera is increasingly relying on additive manufacturing. The 3D printing of SiSiC components offers a high degree of design freedom and enables topology-optimised designs with significant weight reduction. This also makes it possible to realise complex geometries where conventional processes reach their limits.

The two-stage manufacturing process—consisting of binder jetting to produce a green body from silicon carbide powder and polymer binders followed by silicon infiltration—results in highly precise and durable components suitable for both prototypes and series production.

Broad materials portfolio for diverse industries

With its portfolio, Kyocera serves numerous user industries, including analytical technology, automotive, electronics, renewable energy, industrial applications such as mechanical and plant engineering, the oil and gas industry, the chemical industry, aerospace, medical technology as well as security and defence. In doing so, the company covers nearly all of the user industries for high-performance ceramic materials represented at the trade fair.

Kyocera offers more than 200 different material combinations, including aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, cordierite and sapphire. Through this diversity, a wide range of shaping methods and coating technologies, as well as many years of expertise in joining technology, the company can tailor solutions precisely to specific customer requirements.

Among the “hidden champions” of industry

As part of the exhibition “Ceramic components—Hidden Champions in industry and everyday life” in the foyer of the East Entrance, Kyocera will present a 3D-printed mirror for the aerospace sector. In this way, the company illustrates the potential of modern manufacturing technologies for highly precise and high-performance ceramic components.

By participating in ceramitec 2026 again, Kyocera underlines its role as an innovation partner for industrial high-performance applications and sends a clear signal regarding the strategic importance of ceramic materials in a technologically driven future.

About ceramitec 2026

Under the guiding theme “Ceramics in focus of modern industrial applications”, ceramitec 2026 will once again highlight the importance of ceramic materials for forward-looking technologies such as additive manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and sustainability. In addition to heavy clay ceramics, fine ceramics and refractory ceramics as well as the raw materials sector, technical ceramics and powder metallurgy will also form dedicated exhibition areas.
