3D printing in Clay

Stratigraphic Porcelain

The Stratigraphic Porcelain series is designed for the ceramic 3d printer. It's a series of tableware, still evolving. Each piece in the series has its own source code, referring to the number of facets from which the object is constructed.

3D printing goes back to the Stone Age

This is really cool. According to ScienceDaily, group of researchers at University of Washington have come up with a formulation of artist’s ceramic powder to replace 3D printing media, which can cost $30-50 per pound. They are distributing their recipe online for free (which can produce a pound of material for less than a dollar). The pots pictured above were made in a 3D printer using their ceramic mix.
