Lithoz CeraFab System S25 vs Lithoz CeraFab System S65

Technical comparison · 3D printing with clay & ceramics

In brief

Between these two ceramic systems, the choice depends on the volume of parts to produce: the S65 works on an area more than double the S25's, but with a lower declared resolution (40 µm against 25 µm).

Software notes The system uses proprietary slicing software developed by Lithoz, specifically optimized for the rheological and thermal management of photocurable ceramic suspensions. It is not compatible with open-source slicers such as Cura or Slic3r, as the process requires direct control of light exposure parameters and peel plane kinematics for each layer of the component. The Lithoz management software is integrated into a proprietary workflow optimized for the ceramic photopolymerization process, essential for precise control of UV exposure. It is not compatible with open-source firmware or slicers such as Cura or PrusaSlicer, as the system requires specific slice parameters for the loading density of the ceramic material and the polymerization behavior of the loaded resin. Support management and file preparation are optimized to prevent warping during the subsequent debinding and sintering phase in the oven.

The differences that matter

  • Work area: 64×40 mm on the S25 against 102×64 mm on the S65 → more than double.
  • Declared precision: 25 µm on the S25 against 40 µm on the S65 → the S25 handles finer detail.
  • Z height: the same on both (320 mm).

Which one to choose

Choose CeraFab System S25 if…

Anyone producing small, detailed parts — fine geometries, declared down to 25 µm precision — uses the S25, with a 64×40 mm work area. The trade-off is a more limited production volume per cycle.

Choose CeraFab System S65 if…

Anyone producing more parts per cycle or larger components uses the S65's 102×64 mm work area. The trade-off is a lower declared precision (40 µm against 25 µm).
