Abstract
Many ceramic manufacturing companies use 3D CAD software and 3D printing technologies to produce design concept models for evaluation, although the value to the design process is limited due to the type of materials that can be printed, conventional modelling and processing methods still need to be used to achieve a design concept model in a real material.
A solution is desired that delivers a prototype that looks and feels like the final product and which can be fully tested for functionality glaze and decoration.
In collaboration with Denby Pottery as the industrial partner this research project has refined and enhanced the 3D ceramic printing process already developed at the University of the West of England, and has enabled the production of concept models of new design ideas in a real ceramic material, printed directly from CAD data, fired, glazed and decorated.
