Industries such as defence, aerospace, energy and automotive drive research in ceramics and the properties of these materials have been engineered over time specifically for dedicated application challenges. However, with increased customer demands and the requirements from industry of lighter, safer, more corrosion and wear resistant materials, ceramic properties have now been optimized to operate at the current extremes of the performance envelope.

ZEISS equips industry to pioneer innovative solutions, by offering more insights into ceramic structures, properties, performance and processing considerations, across different length scales and modalities. We work alongside both academia and industry to better understand the industrial challenges associated with ceramics research and applies its broad portfolio of capabilities to meet them head on.

In a competitive global environment, with very fast innovative developments, time to market is key. Characterization (microscopy, spectroscopy, modelling and simulations) is able to support more and more industrial R&D, to design materials much faster, to identify failures of components in time and to speed up the development process.
 

To find out more, we invite you to join us for a workshop dedicated to ceramics R&D where we will highlight how 2D and 3D characterization can help you better design ceramics, get more insights into powder chemistry and understand and avoid failure mechanisms in ceramics. The event will be split into seminars and workshop specific to either 2D or 3D Characterization.
