3D-Printing Ceramics 2.0 workshop teaches clay 3D printing techniques, file setup, and custom print paths through hands-on exercises.
3 courses5.0
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.
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
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.

Josef Stöger is an Artist and Designer with a master’s degree in Architecture from the Bartlett School of Architecture, London. He is inspired by the systems and processes that form some of the most beautiful structures in nature and how these can be used in our built environment to create designs that integrate seamlessly with the complexity of our global ecology. He has an incredibly varied background in VR Development, Film-making, Fabrication, and Digital design. With four years of experience working as a technical tutor for Bartlett students, his most recent collaboration is with Peugeot, who is 3D printing a ceramic sculpture to celebrate the launch of their new car. He now works as an Artist and Educator, creating high-value commission pieces and teaching the endlessly fascinating world of digital and physical design.
ecellent coruse by Josef Stoger, detailled. well explained and documenter, Just a pity just the last part was a bit quick, but time was running up.
Very cool, but it would be nice if the pace was a bit more moderate. Please turn down this automatic sound at the begining of each video - it is completely too loud.
Good sessions
Cool! 10/10
