- A new AHRC film looks at how #creative #innovation can translate to new products.
Arts and humanities research generates innovative ideas with real-world applications and commercial potential. One example of research that is realising this potential and contributing to economic growth is an AHRC-funded Knowledge Exchange project at the University of the West of England.
In this film, we see how researchers at the Centre for Fine Print Research, Led by Professor Stephen Hoskins and his team, have developed new methods of creating #ceramics using #3Dprinting technology and worked with Denby Potteries to test designs and develop prototype models in ceramics.
Through this method, ceramics are built up layer by layer using a specially created -- and now patented - ceramic powder. They are then fired and glazed in the usual way. 'Printing' ceramics in this way means that highly intricate and complex ceramics can be created that would have been impossible to achieve traditional methods. This has opened up commercial potential through quicker manufacturing processes and new design options. Gary Hawley, Senior Designer at Denby, praised the partnership between his company and researchers, saying that the new process is ""pushing the boundaries of what is possible"".
The film concludes with Professor Hoskins' inspirational view of what the future for 3D print technology might look like. This includes the announcement of an exciting new AHRC-funded project which will see Professor Hoskins and his team undertake a major investigation into a self-glazing 3D printed ceramic, inspired by ancient Egyptian Faience ceramic techniques. The process they aim to develop would enable ceramic artists, designers and craftspeople to print 3D objects in a ceramic material which can be glazed and vitrified in one firing.
The team hopes to bring ancient tradition into the 21st century, joining together old and new hand-in-hand in a project that continues to push boundaries in this area of ceramic research.

We have come so far in the last 10 years. Cemaric printers are more affordable now and 3D printing plastic are widely known.
Designs will emerge that were impossible before. Interesting upload. thanks.
As an artist, I am MASSIVELY interested in this. So, so many possibilities.
Wow, this is truly interesting. And quite amazing!
I can imagine some really interesting things being printed, such as Escher style three-dimensional objects that would be almost impossible to make by hand.
is this kaolin powder or what type of ceramic is this? how does each thin layer form? does the printer hit the powder with small amounts of water? impressive stuff either way!
Can you take the track of music and make it lower or the voices louder or just take the music off ? Its not pleasant to the ears and it just fights the voices. To the point of even though i REALLY want to hear what you have to say i cant listen to this video any longer than it takes to type this. Thanks for reading and hopefully doing something with the music
YES!
It would be really nice to be able to listen to what is being said without the very annoying beeping.
The sound added to this video made the video unwatchable.
This would really be cool to 3-D print porcelain biological medium for fish tank wet/dry filters
Correction: We still do require our present industries. If not for industrial production, where would one find the processed raw material for the printers to print upon? (Powder polymers, sheet plastic, filaments, photosensitive liquid resin etc.) Not to mention that the accuracy of 3D printed objects will always be predetermined by the material used, as well as the "stair-stepping effect". Thus, it would be impossible to shut down industries with the advent of 3D printing.

most commercial products, with particular reference to those things that hold objects/ liquids are more efficiently available by molding.
so where are we now? is it available?
Yay for shapeways!
really terrific
have the printed a Utah teapot yet?
15 years! Noooo...
This is just Awesome I love it.... Please arrive soon ...
hey. there are commercial units available now.
@@geckomage hello, i am interressed, do you know where and when ?
Thats MADDD WORK ima stick to normal printing
Can you 3D print a tfully dense Aluminum Oxide component?
He said biscuit fire xD
stunning and my dream
And it's here, in only 6 years instead of 15.
3D printing will be a tool that can build upon already existing manufacturing techniques. The current problem with these printers are the material possibilities. While these barriers are being broken down (ie organic tissue growth) we have not yet been able to manufacture materials that are workable by the normal laws of physics. For example, we are able to print organic tissues, but not cause the electrical "firing" needed for muscle or nerve function.
Printed LTCC for electronics is where I'd be interested...
+ahrcpress How does it solidify the 'printed ceramic powder'? To which you then brush of the powder and left with the solid form? It was confusingly explained in your video... Please reply! Wonderful work though
If they use the same method as Shapeways does, they use some sort of binding agent that holds the powder together and then hardens after the first firing.
This would be useful for printing replacement pieces of ceramics no longer available.
Great.
awesome
One could create complex shaped monolithic catalysts for the chemical industry. Has anyone approached you concerning the application of this technology in catalysts manufacturing?
How they are bonding the layers of ceramic powder?
rangisetty venkata sridhar sintering process After each layer
Hi there. I just had the same ideea about 3D printing ceramics but a little bit diffrent. Maybe a laser can be used to sinterize the ceramic powder and eliminate the need for the burning process for the objects that doesn't need glaze. I can't imagine though the level of structural stress induced.
Porcelain shrinks substantially during firing. No ceramic can be laser fired. It must have time to cool slowly as well.
If you have a large enough lens and or mirror on a clear sunny day, you can however fire ceramics using light without a kiln, even without a container, done in open air without wind.

That is another interesting use of a dish concentrator. As a potter and a concentrator lover, I might like to try this. a 6 ft dish is 2KW. I think you could fire earthenware with a ten ft dish and a small insulated container somehow.
jeremiah chace Yes if you're lucky. Porcelain esp. will crack fast if the entire part is not brought to temperature then cooled at a slow rate. The sun is barely out long enough to do this on a good summer day.
mikefromspace
Slowing down the heat up and cool down would not be a problem. Simple shading. (though I have heard (?) of industrial kilns doing whole firings in an hour to cone 10...right clay, exacting temperature control..seems impossible) I think the dish idea might best be thought of as a gas saver with a burner run into the kiln through a highly reflective pipe right up the middle. Pyrometer lead could go up that same pipe too.. Fan blowing cool air from behind up the same reflective pipe cooling inner gas line and supplying blower air for the burn. Then one could low or high fire at will. I am going to build a wood kiln first. Are you thinking of mirroring a dish?
jeremiah chace Well I don't need 3d printing yet. For the work I'm doing, I'll be finishing all using a potter's wheel, using a drill press to spin a wheel, probably a washer tub I've cut. Just need to build a mounting table and make welds to finish. Then my parts will go into a friend's kiln, or I'll buy my own next month.
watching this one year to the day, after it was origionally posted. and 58000 th person to view. B E A utiful
I'm glad it's closed-captioned, so that I can understand the speaker's totally alien, indecipherable language.
Guess you haven't spoken to many people outside of your own town eh

I was being facetious.
HunsV
I must've missed the humour
i was thinking the same thing ahahha
+Paul Girardin
I was being silly.
Someone should construct a big printing jet head exactly for this purpose. Like a 1000 mm long or so. And then you'll be able to print many things simultaneously not even using a Y axis to move that head left and right. And it's just a question of a scale.
Someone built a printer, to print clay and concrete houses
@@realryder2626 this is different. I saw many of those projects.
could you make bearings, they're mad expensive and could be made to measure if you can print them
You're better off designing your equipment around widely available bearing sizes.
Its extremely complicated to build a printer that can reproduce itself. It has to Print chips and electromotors. And how could it print firmware and stuff? I know nothing's impossible but that printer will be pretty hard to build.
This is why open source ideas must ALWAYS be stressed and supported as a way for free development and innovation to go forward and PUSH the elitist ankle grabbers towards a more level playing field. Once we do that, we can shift balance by showing that open source, properly funded, can compete with established industry on a nearly level playing field.
This, along with a strong hacking/anarcho community, is the surest way to curb elitist co-opting of technology for narrow ends. Liberty for all!!
Very interesting, but the transcription is a little off. The first firing is a "bisque" firing, not a "biscuit" firing.
Glad you enjoed the film. In the UK - it is indeed a biscuit firing where as in the US you use the word bisque: www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/biscuit-firing
+ahrcpress I can't believe I have been dreaming of doing this and Just found that you are doing it already. Congratulations.
Thank you, We are glad you enjoyed the film!
Ana de Elia Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed the film
My family owns a clay mining company oldhickoryclay.com/ . Is there a way for me to get in touch with these researchers?
15 years until commerically available? its available from Shapeways right now.
maybe they thought that 2 years ago (look at the video date), Shapeways is not printing ceramics for long...
Shapeways has been printing ceramics longer than this video has been out. I think he meant that 3D printing has not yet hit a stage where it will be cost-effective enough to replace existing methods of mass-producing ceramics. It takes too long to make something still.
Print accuracy will always suffer. It's the same as the Xerox effect. The main misconception that many people have about 3D printing is that it is a wonder tool. Frankly speaking, the accuracy of printed parts are very loose (0.01mm for high-end printers to 0.13mm for desktop printers). While it may not seem like much, it is a huge step backwards in terms of precision manufacturing, and if you were to print a printer using another printer, the accuracy of said printer is gonna be terrible
Are you using any of the current gen wonder tech? This guy was spot on.
we dont need industrial production any more, we dont need industry. We just need a printer at home to produce just what we need at that time. Everything will change soon. We just need one printer able to print itself. That s all.
15 years.... it's already available to all
website shapeways
ya but he meant commercial level..... use 3D printers for mass producing factory output!
its a fair notion, but we will still needs energy to power them, and materials to feed into them.
Actually I think he's not bullish enough. 3D printing in various materials is going like gangbusters all over the world in a huge variety of materials.
The machine they are showing is a commercial unit.
the big goal of nanotehcnology is to print objects atom by atom. we can move atoms individually since 90th year. many people is now working on this. what we need to do urgently is to talk about what we will do with this. peace or war. have fun!
WHAT IF A PRINTER THAT PRINTS WOODEN STRUCTURES
They have them. I think it must be along the line of a meltable glue and wood dust mixture.
yes, but we are changing a lot of products with 2 (energy and plastic)
The concept of working and selling will change.
A big change I think
Could have been a very interesting video if I could actually hear what Prof. Hoskins is saying. No wonder it needs subtitles.
Are there any special CAD software for ceramics design?
It appears as if this process Wd take far longer than making by hand. Throwing is very quick when done by an experienced potter. I was interested in speeding my production of ceramic birds up, but I can no doubt make even a bird faster than this process, and my birds are much slower than throwing a pot. I can't see its practical function for ordinary ceramics, only for printing a design that may be hard to construct by hand, but presumably you need an original to scan, so that seems counter productive.
Wow...this did not take a decade to make it onto a desktop device....
This looks very promising. However this doesnt have to be government sponsered to get this result. Look at reprap etc to see what happens in the maker community. They will also find cheaper ways of doing this -- he seems happy not to have the restraint of worrying about cost. What reality is that??
Cow bell cow bell COW BELL!!!!!
actually shapeways offers plastics, metals and ceramics...
Bro the background noise... I mean music
Must go make a batch of biscuits and gravy now.....
such an interesting subject... spoiled
Yeah, not 15 years, try a year. Like Isak said shapeways already prints in ceramics.
This is coming but...they will not actually be 'printers'. It is nice to see that your 'eyes are open'. Everything is about to change...thats for sure.
meanwhile, your Wedgewood and that sort of high end bone china stuff are all made in Asia.
We allready have one! Reprap!!!
and You :) $
this printer prints itself. give it sometime. FoldaRap
and You ;) $
Most irritating background music (and I use the term very loosely) ever! Watching this video with audio was pure torture.
Peter Ellens it sounds similar to the music of Solaris by Cliff Martinez and a bit of Pantha du Prince.
The replicator has arrived.
Extremely annoying bells as background music nearly ruins this video.
Would have been a great video if it weren't for that high pitched bell sound in the background the entire time. WTF, my brain is bleeding out my ears.
Anxiety much?
That wont happen with a RepRap Darwin, that's for sure ! 🙂
How many times did this guy mention AHRC funding... lol - DON'T BE SO SCARED OF THEM BRO!
Why did you put that annoying bell sound in the video??? It's hard to watch it to the end.😡
background noise is terrible
Actually, fine print ceramics isn't wildly available.
8:26 mins in, she carefully places that item into the kiln and breaks the left side of it as she's got it in her hands with her fingers getting stuck underneath rather than on a thin flat sheet of metal from which it couldve been transferred without breaking it. Evidently the pre-fired item is still extremely fragile. Im very enthusastic about 3D printing but I would not like to see the technology drive people away from getting their hands on rotating wet clay : )
Or i.materialise
Rep Rap...
yes but it costs 100 dollars to make a coffee cup, not very practical yet
So tired of art/design videos with close-up shots and mysterious background music. So pretentious.
What an annoying background noise. Interesting topic but not helped by the background noise.
I couldn't finish the video because of the loud cringy music.
the only thing available is printing in plastic not Ceramic.
15 years my ass. Too expensive, wrong again. The cheapest material on ShapeWays right now is glazed ceramic.
hippie
Lol!!! Too expensive for an in home product?! We'll all just print more money!
Zero zero.
makes no sense .lern th speak. no clue
and that's the beginning of ceramic without ''soul'' , which can give only a person - ceramic artist. none technology .. I really don't get this.. why do we need thous 3D printers. we have so much stuff on our planet. let's stop make anything!
slump molding and mass production of pottery is already a thing, this does not change anything.
Mishappp I'm not agree with the series production of pottery. All of them are Kitschy. In my country (Romania) we have a lot of craftsmen who made ceramic pottery manualy and you can see the difference easily. Manualy pottery are more humanistic, you can see little inperfection on decoration but it looks great. Search on youtube after this words : Ceramica Horezu (recognized by UNESCO), Ceramica marginea and you will understand the difference between a kitsch made by a 3d printer and an authentic product.
You will never can make pure art generated by computer.
Mishappp 3D printers are ok for something else but not for art. It's ok if you wanna replicate a case for an electronic product, or if you wanna make a prototype of a car......
We are already at the point of ceramics without "soul". Goto any Walmart garden center and you will see identical glazed pots made by some poor Chinese sweatshop workers that just took a mold, filled it with slip, let it dry, and boom, got your mass-produced ceramic. We've been doing this shit for centuries.
I know right? I actually prefer this to molds.
