Innovative design studio\u00a0Nervous System<\/a><\/strong>, which our readers may remember from its stunning\u00a03D printed kinematics dresses, has recently ventured into the realm of 3D printed ceramics by experimenting with Tethon 3D\u2019s new material called Porcelite. In a blog post about the process of 3D printing with porcelain, Jessica Rozencrantz, one of Nervous System\u2019s founders, outlines the challenges she faced and solutions she found while printing with the new material<\/a>:<\/p>\n

”This winter, we found out about a kickstarter for new 3D-printable ceramic called Porcelite<\/a> by Tethon3D. Though we are often skeptical of kickstarters, especially in the 3D printing space, we jumped at the opportunity to start experimenting with this material.\u00a0We have always loved ceramic as a material and were excited by the prospect of creating 3D-printed ceramic pieces. (In fact, our one and only foray into traditional mass production was making a line of ceramic cups and plates<\/a>). Our first designs for this new material are\u00a0porcelain cups that remain cool to the touch due to the intricate, cellular nature of their surface. It took us over a month of experimentation to figure\u00a0out how to properly print the material, and below we\u00a0discuss some of its challenges and potentials.<\/p>\n
