Abstract

We present new material/binder systems for use in 3D printing hardware for the creation of mid-fire to high-fire ceramics. 3D printing is one of a variety of techniques in which objects are produced by printing binder onto a layer of powder. A brief overview of our process is presented and demonstration works are shown. Several available dry clay bodies were adapted for use in an existing, commercial 3D printer. Details of powder formulation are presented. Experimental results are presented for strain, flexural stress, and porosity for the various clay bodies as a function of firing temperature.
