Abstract: This invention applied a paradigm for the one-step-shape/material-transformation, high-2D/3D/4D-precision, high-efficiency, and scalable in situ 4D additive-subtractive manufacturing of ceramics in aerospace fields. The printed ceramics exhibited a high flame ablation performance with the integration of 2D printing (ALD) and 3D/4D printing of ceramic materials. The proposed paradigm can be extended to other high-temperature materials to build ceramic/metal composite structures.
