The aim of this study is the evaluation of powder injection molding (PIM) binder compositions for the material extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing of zirconia parts. Four commercial PIM binder compositions were selected and mixed with 45 vol% of yttria-stabilized zirconia powder. Due to the brittle characteristic of the obtained ceramic feedstocks, a screw based pellet printing head was used for printing dense zirconia structures. To compare 3D printing performance, additionally a commercially available zirconia filament was used in this study. Application of PIM binder compositions was limited either due to phase separation during processing, poor printing performance or delamination during solvent debinding. Only one of the PIM based feedstock compositions could be successfully printed, debound and sintered. A ring-on-ring setup was used to investigate the equibiaxial flexural strength after sintering for both pellet and filament printed disks. For benchmarking, cold isostatic pressed (CIP) ceramic discs were fabricated by commercial, ready-to-press, zirconia powder. The ring on-ring results showed a low Weibull modulus (3
