3D printing with local river clay – Part 2

Continuation of the research into 3D printed local river clay in combination with natural local additives. 

The clay was dug next to the location of Fabrikaat after which the stones and roots were removed so that the print nozzle would not clog. Because of the specifications of this clay, it was required to adjust the design, to allow for errors and irregularities in the clay.

Local rough clay.

Print test with white clay, to test the geometry.

Printing the tiles on the opening day of the new Fabrikaat location.

Final tiles, glazed with local materials.

Application of the tiles in the window sill.
