contents Sintering of printed porcelain filaments can be strongly affected by overhang geometry, thin features, and printing-induced anisotropy. These effects are particularly difficult to simulate because they require accurately capturing the interplay between sintering kinetics, viscous deformation, and macroscopic anisotropy. In this study, a robust and predictive model is established experimentally using anisotropic sintering dilatometry combined with overhang-deformation calibration through finite element simulations (FEM). The sintering behavior is identified using a porosity-temperature-independent minimization strategy applied to multi-rate dilatometry. Pellet anisotropy is incorporated via FEM by imposing directional sintering stresses. The deformation behavior is then calibrated by adjusting the shear viscosity to match overhang shapes deformation. The resulting model is finally validated on overhanging bar geometries. This step-by-step approach provides a comprehensive assessment of porcelain sintering while accurately capturing deformation mechanisms.
