Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) has enabled the production of highly customized, geometrically complex and functionalized parts with significantly improved properties and functionality, compared to single-phase ceramic components. It also opens up a new way to shape damage-tolerant ceramic composites with co-continuous phase reinforcement inspired by natural materials. Nowadays, a large variety of AM techniques has been successfully applied to fabricate CMCs, but variable properties have been obtained so far. This article provides a comprehensive review on the AM of ceramic matrix composites through a systematic evaluation of the capabilities and limitations of each AM technique, with an emphasis on reported results regarding the properties and potentials of AM manufactured ceramic matrix composites.
