Abstract: Ceramic materials, with their excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, high temperature properties, are widely applied to various occasions. However, the properties mentioned above have brought many difficulties to shape ceramic parts. The difficulties will be overcome when the additive manufacturing technique is introduced into ceramic shaping process, which also provides a new possibility for ceramic shaping process. The current additive manufacturing techniques are mainly divided into three categories: laser processing-based,extrusion-based, and digital light processing-based. In this paper, the research status and progre of ceramic additive manufacturing technique are carefully reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the ceramic additive manufacturing technique are also discussed, and finally the development of the technique is explored.

Key words: additive manufacturing; ceramic
