Bosch Advanced Ceramics

What Bosch Advanced Ceramics does

Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe GmbH (formerly Bosch Advanced Ceramics) is a specialized B2B contract manufacturer of additively manufactured technical ceramics, headquartered in Immenstadt, Germany. The company produces high-purity oxide ceramic components with complex geometries — including internal channels, lattice structures, undercuts, and functional integration features — using VAT photopolymerization (VPP) ceramic additive manufacturing via SLA, LCM, and LFD processes.

The business operates a single end-to-end service offering covering material selection, AM-specific design optimization, additive manufacturing, thermal processing and sintering, quality assurance (CT inspection, mechanical testing, dimensional verification), and post-processing (machining, laser processing, coating). Customers are enterprises in mechanical and plant engineering, aerospace, medical technology, energy systems, and semiconductor manufacturing, with engagement structured around functional prototypes and qualified scalable series production. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with project-driven contract manufacturing.

In January 2026, Bosch divested the unit to Japan's Sintokogio Group, and it now operates as Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe GmbH within a global industrial manufacturing conglomerate, gaining access to the parent's worldwide operations and customer base while retaining its European ceramic AM specialization.
