Abstract: Additive manufacturing technology is considered to be a novel and efficient solution to problem in the fabrication of complex-structured ceramic components. It's shaping process in a point-line-layer-volume manner enables the integral structure-function characteristic for the specially-designed macro and micro ceramic structures. This study reviews the historical origin, working principle, feed stock preparation, and manufacturing technical research of the four types of extrusion and jetting-based ceramic additive manufacturing techniques, including fused deposition modeling, direct ink writing, inkjet printing and binder jetting techniques. The properties and applications of the fabricated samples are also discussed with case studies introduced. By comparing the different features of each type of technique, key challenges and prospects of the present technical advancement are proposed.

Key words: ceramic additive manufacturing technology, fused deposition modeling, direct ink writing, inkjet printing, binder jetting, integrated structural and functional performance
