Over the last two decades, ceramic binder jetting additive manufacturing (BJAM) has emerged as a revolutionary technique for fabricating complex ceramic components, demonstrating significant potential and value in critical domains such as aerospace, biomedicine, and electronic information. This article comprehensively reviews the fundamental principles, material selection, process methodologies, performance characteristics, and manufacturing defects of this technology, along with an in-depth outlook on future challenges and objectives. Initially, the article elucidates the forming principles of this technology, juxtaposing its advantages and limitations against other additive manufacturing processes. It then synthesizes global research advancements, focusing on ceramic powder treatment and its properties, binder configuration and its dynamical behavior in powder beds, process parameter adjustments, and subsequent densification post-processing, discussing how these factors impact the density, porosity, microstructure, and performance of both green bodies and final components. Lastly, based on existing research outcomes and application limitations, the paper proposes forward-looking recommendations for the development of powder materials, binder design, and process parameter optimization. This review aims to provide comprehensive guidance for understanding and applying ceramic binder jetting additive manufacturing in scientific research and engineering practices.
