HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
After piece forming, the greenware is gas or electrically fired at high temperatures to achieve its mechanical strength and aesthetic properties. In the search for faster firing processes, small size and cup shaped 3D printed stoneware pieces were fired using microwave radiation as the energy source. As microwave radiation has the potential to penetrate the material to be sintered, volumetric heating can be achieved, and faster firing processes are possible to implement without cracks formation and other thermal related defects. Pieces were fired in 10% of the conventional manufacturing time in a six magnetrons . . .
