Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a promising technique for the preparation of ceramic parts with complex shapes and high accuracy. In this study, 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) UV-curable slurries were prepared and printed via DLP. Two different solid loadings (40.5 and 43.6 vol%, respectively) and printing directions were investigated to assess the influence of these parameters on physical and mechanical properties of the sintered parts. Zirconia samples were sintered at 1550 °C for 1 h, achieving a very high relative density (99.2%TD), regardless of solid loading and printing direction. FE-SEM micrographs shown a homogeneous and defect-free cross section with an average grains size of 0.56 ± 0.19 µm. Finally, mechanical properties were influenced by printing direction and zirconia vol%. Indeed, the composition with the higher solid loading (i.e. 43.6 vol%) had the highest three-point flexural strength (751 ± 83 MPa) when tested perpendicular to the printing plane.
