A ceramic heating 3D printer is a new type of 3D printer that utilizes a ceramic heating element as its hot end. This type of printer uses the unique properties of ceramic materials to improve the heating efficiency and performance of the printer, making it an innovative and promising technology in the 3D printing industry.
In September 2021，the world-renowned 3D printer accessory manufacturers E3D Online and Phaetus have successively released new 3D printing hot ends, using ceramic heating tubes to replace traditional single-head heating tubes. The newly released hot ends will be available for sale in late November and December of this year.
This new type of hot end employs a ceramic heating tube as the heating component for the first time, and redesigns the heating method based on the excellent characteristics of the ceramic heating tube. According to the promotion by E3D and Phaetus, compared to traditional hot ends, this new type of hot end can bring many benefits to 3D printing design.
So, the iteration from single-head heating tube to ceramic heating tube reflects the charm of technological innovation. Ceramic heating can indeed bring many benefits to 3D printing, at least from the efforts of E3D and Phaetus in research and development. Technological innovation is generally led by industry leaders, followed by subsequent followers who expand the market. Therefore, I personally believe that after the release of these two new hot ends, if the market responds well, the use of ceramic heating in 3D printers will become more and more common in the future.
