3d Printer frame (for clay)
Our group at Spinderihallerne decided to work on making a functional frame for 3D printer. This machine could fit different materials, among which a clay extruder. It will be a strong design challenge that combines technology, digital fabrication and traditional artistic techniques. Creating a classic handmade item through a mashine for sure is an innovation.Moreover, the challeges in terms of the difficulty of the extruded material and its preferences is also an extra challenge.
The initial inspiration came from the work of Jonathan Keep who created a clay 3d printed in delta form.
