Digital light processing (DLP) technology has presented great potential to fabricate ceramic structures including alumina component, yet the mechanical properties of DLP-manufactured ceramics are still difficult to be guaranteed. The enhancement of mechanical properties of DLP-fabricated ceramic materials is challenging and imperative in the field of industrial application. This paper investigates the printing and heat treatment processes of additively manufactured ceramic to achieve defect-free Al₂O₃ ceramic with high performance. Firstly, Al_2O₃ ceramic slurry with a high solid content of 55 vol.% and viscosity of 6.04 Pa•s (at the shear rate of 100 s⁻¹) is prepared. Then, Al₂O₃ ceramic is manufactured with digital light processing, debinding and sintering processes sequentially. Thirdly, the effects of sintering temperatures on the shrinkage, density, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the Al₂O₃ ceramics are analyzed. The shrinkage, density, and flexural strength of the sintered ceramic increase with temperature; the microhardness shows a non-monotonic trend with the increase of sintering temperature. Finally, the influence mechanism of sintering temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of the DLP-fabricated ceramics is interpreted and discussed. The ceramic grains grow and combine to form long columnar grains during higher sintering temperatures. The density, microhardness and flexural strength of the Al₂O₃ ceramics sintered at 1600 °C are achieved 3.51 g/cm³, 17.71 GPa and 175.8 MPa, respectively.
