Monolithic Ceramic Solutions for Vehicle Protection

Particularly in the field of armour for land vehicles, the use of 3D-printed, monolithic Qitin Armour Ceramics solutions enables the protection of geometrically complex structures, such as weapon stations. Thanks to our state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, we are able to produce a wide variety of complex geometries. Optional drill holes and recesses are also possible through the use of 3D printing technology.

You benefit from these advantages:

• Lower weight than conventionally used hard armor materials (e.g Alumina ceramics, armor steel plates)
• High degree of hardness
• Protects against armor-piercing bullets, even with multiple hits
• Large variety of geometries possible
• Cost-effective material: Reaction-bonded silicon carbide with a reduced proportion of metallic silicon and favorable cost-effectiveness
• Weight-optimized material: Reaction-bonded boron carbide with a higher degree of hardness and excellent protection Performance
• Protection according to STANAG level 1-5 possible when using a suitable backing
