The precision, replicability and computational control of the 3D printed shape allows to create designs that would be impossible to produce using traditional methods.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-878 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vormvrij.nl\/3dclayprinting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/22770723_1680427678694065_6559473560389041503_oa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vormvrij.nl\/3dclayprinting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/22770723_1680427678694065_6559473560389041503_oa.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vormvrij.nl\/3dclayprinting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/22770723_1680427678694065_6559473560389041503_oa-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vormvrij.nl\/3dclayprinting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/22770723_1680427678694065_6559473560389041503_oa-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although the most well known is 3D printing with plastic, the range of materials that can be 3D printed is very broad: glass, ceramics, metals, concrete, earth, chocolate etc. As a showcase of possible complexity of 3D printed ceramics in architecture, a multifunctional wall of porous clay bricks was produced for the SEEM[N]EST installation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #333333; cursor: text; font-family: 'Libre Franklin','Helvetica Neue',helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">The porous bricks work as filters and collectors of rainwater and melting water during spring as well as accommodate biological organisms and possibly plants, insects or birds.
