Ceramics are high-strength and high-temperature resistant materials that are used in various functional parts. However, due to the high strength and brittleness properties, there are many difficulties in the fabrication of complex shapes. Therefore, there are many studies related to the fabrication of ceramic parts using 3D printing technology optimized for complex shapes. Among them, studies using photo-polymerization (PP) 3D printing technology with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface quality have received the most widespread attention. To secure the physical properties of sintered ceramic, the content and distribution of materials are important. This study suggests a novel 3D printing process based on a high-viscosity composite resin that maximizes the content of zirconia ceramics. For reliable printing, the developed 3D printers that can adjust the process environment were used. To minimize warpage and delamination, the divided micro square pattern images were irradiated in two separate intervals of 1.6 s each while maintaining the internal chamber temperature at 40 °C. This contributed to improved stability and density of the sintered structures. Ultimately, the ceramic parts with a Vickers hardness of 12.2 GPa and a relative density of over 95% were able to be fabricated based on a high-viscosity resin with 25,000 cps.
