This site was initiated by Yao van den Heerik, and started in the summer of 2017 by scouring the internet and collecting as many news worthy articles, blog and projects about 3d clay printing that could be found. So far there is no other site dedicated to report and archive 3d clay printing related news, I hoped to fill that gap. It took a few more months to have that idea fully crystallized and shaped into a readable and searchable format. 3Dclayprinting.com was the obvious name.
