- We tend to see pottery as a manual process - the work of an artist's manual skill, perhaps working at a potter's wheel. Matt Sutton, through his company MadeXBinary, applies an entirely different form of art and skill to produce pottery. Mastering 3D printing with clay has enabled him to realize fully automated production of distinctive, aesthetic kitchenware forms, including the 3D printed mugs we look at in this episode of The Cool Parts Show. Clay is a type of ceramic material that is in some ways easy to 3D print with, and in other ways challenging to apply this way. We talk about the challenges. Succeeding at additive manufacturing in clay has allowed MadeXBinary to develop what Sutton calls "digital pottery."

Yaaayy! Matt retrofitted his printer off an original Printrbot Simple Metal! I still have mine but, I cooked the board. I'm researching now how to retrofit a new board and whatever else is required to be replaced!
i’m going to order one or a couple of these thanks to this video, love 3d printing, US small businesses, and coffee. this is perfect
Figuring out the speeds and feeds is always the hard part. I'm trying to figure that out right now.
also ceramic figures or statutes would be awsome
Recommendation to try is Dry Ice. Just pos print place dry ice to solidify the base more without drying it to make higher larger prints.
Could even experiment with Peltiers
he should make ceramic shelters for aquarium creatures.
Super fun! Woooh!
Has he considered additional surface treatment like bead blasting so that you are not limited by the layered look? People can appreaciate the layer esthetics but there is room for more styles.
Very nice!
very cool!
Wouldn't it be possible to add solvable support, which could be made before? I think this is really interesting as this is something that is repeatable.
Brilliant.
cheers!
love it, v beautiful. I want to buy such a 3d printer.
I would like an over engineered teapot or mug with adjustable cooling
can you make nozzel for space rockets?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🏺 The episode explores 3D printing with clay, a process known as digital pottery.
01:06 🧊 3D printing with clay allows for unique mug designs and digital pottery creation.
02:08 🛠️ Matt Sutton, from MadeXBinary, is an engineer who pioneered 3D printing with clay.
04:08 🪶 3D printing with clay presents challenges due to its softness and slow drying time.
05:42 🚰 Clay used for 3D printing requires careful mixture control to balance flow and solidity.
06:45 🍶 3D printing ceramics like mugs requires reengineering designs to avoid overhangs.
08:12 🕰️ The 3D printing step is short, but extensive post-processing is needed for clay ceramics.
11:46 🧐 The layer lines are intentionally left visible to emphasize the 3D printing process.
13:15 🏭 Carpenter Additive's facility in Alabama specializes in producing metal powder for additive manufacturing.

Has he considered using a deflocculant to decrease the viscosity of the clay without increasing the water content?
Darvan 811 (43% Sodium Polyacrylate solution) is used in “slip casting” to liquify clay without adding water.
From Matt at madexbinary: "Did I consider using a deflocculant? Yes and no. I was aware of techniques used in slip-casting to reduce water content (and the associated shrinkage), but as a newcomer to ceramics I was ignorant of the details. On top of that, manufacturing favors stability. So once a suitable ‘recipe’ was arrived at, further adjustments and experimentation was viewed through the lens of risk vs. reward. Bottom line is that I was happy where I was. Having said all that, I’m nearing the limits of what I can do speed-wise, so recipe adjustments that reduce shrinkage actually have a material impact on reducing print time. So a recipe adjustment such as this is something I should reconsider!"
“It’s functional as a handle” - have you tried putting something hot in it? 😂
Cool part
can a direct mold for casting metals be made with this
From Matt Sutton: I'm not sure. I've never tried this, nor do I know anyone that has. Off-hand, I would have concerns with thermal shock. But if the mold could be pre-heated, then... maybe?
These clays will still be needed to be fired, though, to be used as actual mugs, right?
Yes, the mugs are glazed and fired in a kiln.
@@AdditiveManufacturing Needs two fires - bisque and glaze
Which design software did matt use?
Matt says, "I create the geometry in Rhino 3D, then use Rhino’s Grasshopper plugin to create the toolpath and ultimately the G-code for the printer."
Thanks for watching!
@@AdditiveManufacturing How well his business is doing? I see a huge potential for the ceramics business in my area. But I cannot get low-cost clay 3d printer here in India. Should I even try this business?
14:24 CA logo-old Seagate logo?
good thing we have dishwashers ah
very tick without the post processing.... in a clay form
is like SCARA printer. LOL
here is a mug, that can't be used because it has a handle that'll burn your hand off
thats not a mug. its a pouring cup
It's versatile.
Looks difficult to clean - I'll pass
pretty sure this was created years ago...americans
Boring pottery, you can design better sruff.
For me it is funny that corded ware is actually 5000 years old. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture
