>Also, who is working on the construction of functional ceramic components?
Here's some research/development work in functional ceramics, with
apologies to co-workers whose names I've omitted.
*CerLOM of alumina (Griffin @ Lone Peak Engineering)
*Fused Deposition Modeling of Ceramic-Loaded Polymer (Agarwala et al @ Rutgers)
[This includes silicon nitride, alumina, zirconia]
*3D Printing of magnesia, alumina zirconia (Cima/Sachs @ MIT)
*Reactive Stereodeposition of silica, mullite, glass (Stuffle @ Adv. Cer. Res.)
*SLA Slurries (Griffith/Halloran @ U of Mich)
*SLS of alumina, silicon carbide (Marcus/Barlow/Beaman/Bourell @ UTexas)
*SiC infiltrated with Mg (Bourell/Wohlert @ UTexas)
*Gel Casting (Janney and Young)
*Commercial Sand Molding (Soligen and DTM)
