Biography: Prof. Paolo Colombo is an Academician of the World Academy of Ceramics and the European Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society. He is currently President of the International Ceramic Federation (ICF) and Vice President of the Italian Ceramic Society (2024-2026). He is on the Board of the JECS Trust and serves on ERC and EPSRC grant evaluation panels. He has published more than 430 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 9 book chapters, and holds 12 international patents. He has an h-index of 73, and his work has been cited 20,677 times.

Abstract: This talk will present strategies for producing high-quality ceramic components using a variety of precursor feedstocks. It will explore components fabricated by different additive manufacturing techniques, with sizes ranging from the sub-micron scale to tens of centimeters. The techniques to be discussed include direct ink writing, digital light processing, two-photon polymerization, robotic arm manufacturing, and volumetric additive manufacturing.
