 Typical Applications

 Ceramics & Pottery

• Porcelain, clay, earthenware, gres, refractory bodies useful for functional pottery and artistic forms. 

 Architectural Prototypes

• Creates large ceramic structures or parts for design, facades, and scaled architecture. 

 Art & Sculptures

• Fine art studios use it to print statues, installations, and custom art with ceramic materials. 

 Research & Education

• Universities and labs utilize it for material science and large-format clay printing research. 

 Typical Usage & Workflow

1. Material Prep: Clay or ceramic paste is prepared with proper moisture and de-aired consistency. 

2. Slicing: Design file (.stl/.obj) is sliced into gcode with layer settings. 

3. Printer Setup: Load paste and select nozzle; connect air compressor. 

4. Printing: Printer deposits clay layer by layer; interaction possible during printing due to open frame. 

5. Post-Processing: Dry, trim, fire/kiln, and glaze as needed. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can the printer handle materials other than clay?
Yes porcelain, earthenware, gres, refractory mixes, and similar dense ceramic pastes. 

Q: Do I need a compressor?
Yes an air compressor is required to drive the clay extrusion at consistent pressure ( 8 bar). 

Q: What nozzle sizes are available?
Standard: 1.5-3 mm; Optional XL: up to 8 mm for faster and thicker deposition. 

Q: Whats the layer resolution?
Typically around 0.5 mm minimum; dependent on material and nozzle. 

Q: Can prints be resumed after power loss?
Yes rescue/resume systems allow restarting from a specific height. 

Q: Is it suitable for professional ceramic production?
Yes especially with Continuous Feeding or Production add-ons for higher throughput. 

Q: Does it need special software?
No works with common slicing tools (Cura, Simplify3D, Slic3r).
