Additive manufacturing of silicon nitride ceramics: A review of advances and perspectives

Abstract Silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) ceramic has been widely applied in various engineering fields. The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies provides an innovative approach for the fabrication of complex‐shaped Si 3 N 4 ceramic components. This article systematically reviews the advances of the AM of Si 3 N 4 ceramic in recent years and forecasts the potential perspectives in this field. This review aims to motivate future research and development for the AM of Si 3 N 4 ceramic.
