Abstract
In order to investigate the capability of additive manufacturing technologies to build pressure housings, hemispheres made of titanium and ceramic with a nominal outer diameter of 70Â mm were built on 3D printer systems, evaluated, and tested in a pressure tank. Titanium hemispheres expected to withstand an external pressure of 10Â MPa started buckling at 6Â MPa. A stiffened titanium hemisphere which was expected to withstand 24Â MPa collapsed at 30Â MPa. A ceramic hemisphere could not be tested to collapse since the measurement technique was not rated to withstand an external pressure above 30Â MPa.
