3D printing of ceramic materials has gained tremendous attention in recent years due to its high efficiency and competitive prices in the fabrication of advanced ceramics with complex geometric structures. The application of 3D printing for the precision construction of ceramic membranes has demonstrated great promise in enhancing their separation efficiency and expanding their usage scenarios. This review provides an overview of 3D-printed ceramic membranes from different materials and technologies. It covers the research progress of 3D printing for both dense and porous ceramic membranes. Moreover, the challenges of 3D printing technology faced by ceramic membranes are discussed, and potential development directions are prospected.
