3D printing with your Personal Factory just got food safe<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are psyched to announce our 8th material available for 3D printing<\/a> \u2014 Glazed Ceramic<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Glazed Ceramic<\/a> lets you create 3D printed ceramic objects which go through a fire and glazing process just like traditional ceramics.<\/p>\n

The finish is a lovely smooth gloss, and objects made with Glazed Ceramic are food safe and heat resistant. <\/p>\n

Samples for this material are still in the kiln, so to speak, but we’ll let you know as soon as they’re<\/strike> are available for $13.50 each<\/a>! <\/p>\n

And in October, the guys of FabBlab<\/a> are doing a special Halloween themed Glazed Ceramic project. So you’ll be able to download their free file and make a 3D printed ceramic object even if you don’t have the skills to design in 3D just yet.<\/p>\n

Speaking of designing in 3D, designing for Glazed Ceramic does take some special considerations. Think of working with 3D printed Glazed Ceramic with the same expectations of hand-made ceramics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ceramics go through a lot \u2014 3 rounds of firing and a glazing stage. And change happens with each stage; so avoid rigid, geometric, or highly detailed designs. Ceramics are fragile; so your design must be strong and stable enough to be fired in the kiln. Ceramics are also unpredictable, which is part of their charm. So don’t expect a verbatim replica of your 3D model. <\/p>\n

Durability<\/strong>
\nYour design must be structurally durable so that it can be hardened in the firing process. The recommended minimum wall thickness is 3mm. <\/p>\n

The high heat can also cause your design to warp as it hardens, so softer organic shapes are much more suitable than geometric shapes. Note how the geometric design below turned out a little bloated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Detail<\/strong>
\nDetail is another thing to carefully consider. In addition to warping in the kiln, the glaze can add 1mm of material to the surface, smoothing over any surface details in your design. Note how the text is obscured in the examples below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The glazing stage<\/strong>
\nThe glazing process requires one other consideration as you design. The glaze is sprayed on, and your design must have an obvious base on which to sit. If there is no obvious base, your design will be propped on pins which will leave dimples in the glaze.<\/p>\n

Also, only the appropriately glazed parts of your design are food safe. <\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong>
\nPricing for this material starts at an affordable $0.20\/cm2 for free Personal Factory accounts and $0.18\/cm2 for Prime. Pricing is in cm2 instead of cm3, because pricing is based on the surface area of your design.<\/p>\n

Creating 3D printed ceramic objects is both a mechanical and an organic process. Design with both in mind, and this may just be your new favorite material. See the complete guide to designing for Glazed Ceramic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
