Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study is to prepare and characterize a novel hybrid resin/ceramic blend printable by liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing. Speed curing testing on the hybrid blend is carried out to determine the correct printing settings. The printed parts are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and by thermomechanical analysis. The results show that the hybrid blend is processable when using proper printing settings and with the help of an automated wipe system during printing.
