Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of optical fibres comprising a boron nitride (BN)-based coating, in a method for the additive manufacturing of ceramic structures. The present invention also relates to ceramic structures obtained by additive manufacturing comprising an optical component comprising one or more optical fibres as defined above.
Claims16
A use of an optical fibre in a method for additive manufacturing of ceramic structures, the fibre comprising
- a core made of a material allowing fibre-forming and having an outer surface, and
- an external coating including a mixture of hexagonal boron nitride and bentonite, at a rate of at least 10% by weight of bentonite relative to a total weight of the external coating.
