Material + Technology
Clay is a unique material that can be manipulated with the addition of water or heat, and has the added advantage of being completely recylable. Using this material in combination with technology like 3D printing opens up potential for faster print time, material optimization and lower carbon footprint.
Understanding the material and its properties through various methods of manipulation and craft
Weaving clay
Printed ceramics gives rise to beautiful weaving patterns such as these. Once printed, the clay can be further manipulated by hand or tools before baking them in the kiln.
Printed roofs
3D printing free standing roof enclosures is one of the most challenging problems to tackle as the roof tends to collapse due to self weight. These vaulted enclosures are tweaked over multiple prints and strategies.
Planters
What’s unique about printed ceramic planters is that they are made of earth and they contain earth. Making these the ideal example for sustainable, nature friendly products.
