Introduction of the workshop:

To bridge the gap between the realms of digital and physical, 3D printing with clay has gained immense popularity over the last few years. The process adds another layer of intrigue to fabrication, where material and print paths must be finely tuned to achieve spectacular results. It is a compelling and exciting creation method, with techniques applicable from object to architectural scales.

What You’ll Learn?

Exploring Clay 3D Printing: Techniques from Object to Architecture

Setting Up for Success: Creating G-code and Print Files in Cura

Mastering Print Paths: Customizing Techniques with Grasshopper

Live Printing Insights: Assessing and Learning from Real-Time Results

Post-Processing and Material Exploration: Maximizing Clay’s Potential

Methodology:

To gain skills for 3D printing with clay, you will not be required to have a clay 3D printer, but you will follow along with a series of 10 exercises that will gradually build up your knowledge from setting up a print in cura, creating G-code in Grasshopper, and customizing print-paths to develop completely bespoke pieces. After each exercise, we will print a student’s work to assess how the digital file translates into clay. These prints will be live-streamed from a separate camera to see how they build up layer by layer. Thus, we will learn from failures and find exciting new languages for design.

In the 3D-Printing Ceramics 2.0 workshop, we will explore clay 3D printing, with an introduction to the material and fabrication process, setting up files to print with cura, and finely choreographing printing paths with Grasshopper to gain complete control over the printer, learning techniques such as non-planar printing, variable extrusion, and custom-print paths. Alongside practical lessons, we will explore different clay 3D printer specifications and ways of post-processing pieces after they have been printed to capitalize on the infinite possibilities of clay and ceramics.

Content

Introduction + Lecture (38:33)

Lecture on 3D clay printing: digital meets ancient techniques

This lecture explores how 3D clay printing merges digital technology with ancient coil-building techniques, highlighting the benefits of clay’s material properties and architectural sustainability. It also covers various ceramic printing technologies, emphasizing clay extrusion and providing insights into clay preparation, material properties, design precedents, and the use of G-code in the printing process.

Intro to 3D-Printing (46:43)

Basics of clay 3D printing with Cura

This session covers the basics of clay 3D printing using Cura software, including setting up the printer and adjusting essential print settings. It also addresses support strategies and the importance of reviewing G-code, with additional tips on enhancing print quality using advanced tools.

Office + Printer tour (07:10)

Josef's 3D clay printer overview

In this tour video, Josef gives an overview showcasing his 3D clay printer with a 400×400 mm print bed, demonstrating the clay preparation process, the dual extruder system, and the need for regular bed leveling.

Cura + Grasshopper (02:09:49)

Grasshopper for advanced 3D clay printing

This session focuses on using Grasshopper for 3D clay printing, providing enhanced control and customization. The session covers Grasshopper basics, generating G-code, and techniques such as base layers, looping patterns, and non-planar printing, offering improved control over the results.

Cleaning Up Mesh Geometry (53:08)

Mesh cleanup for clay printing integration

This session covers how to clean up a 3D mesh in Houdini for clay printing by using VDB nodes to smooth intersections and reduce polygon count, then importing the mesh back into Grasshopper. As well as generating G-code from mesh contours.

Visualizing 3D-Printed Textures (50:29)

Procedural clay printing visualization techniques

This session explores techniques for visualizing and rendering clay printed geometries procedurally using Houdini and Grasshopper.

Discussion on 3D-Printed Ceramics (03:39)

Review of a 3D-printed piece

In this session, Josef showcases a 3D-printed piece designed during the workshop and discusses the challenges and potential improvements, such as scaling and post-processing.

Non-Planar Printing (43:18)

Complex curves in clay printing

This session covers non-planar 3D clay printing techniques, focusing on creating contour curves, adjusting layer paths, and varying extrusion to handle complex, curved shapes.

Variable Extrusion Techniques (01:14:13)

Clay printing with Grasshopper optimization

This session covers 3D clay printing techniques with Grasshopper, including variable extrusion, optimizing print paths, and accounting for shrinkage. It highlights practical tips for refining prints and adapting techniques through experimentation.

Important Notes:

Total sessions: 2 SessionsThe teaching duration per session will be 4 hours.

Students will have time for a break between teaching hours.

Each session and the entire studio will be recorded, and videos will be available for participants just a day after the class for unlimited time.

PAACADEMY will provide a certificate of attendance.

The studio has limited seats. Tickets are non-transferable & non-refundable. Please read carefully before you register.

A 3D printer is not required for this workshop.
