Abstract: Additive manufacturing using photocurable polymers is one method to answer the increased demand of ceramic structures with complicated morphology by fabricating ceramic parts with high resolution and good surface quality. We introduce here a new method to fabricate SiOC ceramic structures by utilizing a simple physical blend between two different preceramic polysiloxanes, one providing photosensitive acrylate groups while the other one a high ceramic yield. Different blend ratios have been realized and respectively optimized concerning the printing additives and setting times to fabricate exact replications of highly complex polysiloxane structures by Digital Light Processing. After pyrolysis, a uniform, homogenous shrinkage was observed yielding dense, pore- as well as crack-free SiOC ceramics. By adjusting the ratio between the different polysiloxanes, parameters such as the ceramic yield, shrinkage, chemical composition and resolution after pyrolysis could be tailored in a wide range of values.
