Synopsis

Contrary to several other AM (Additive Manufacturing) technologies, the 3D Printing of ceramics is not suited for architectural on-site production. Mainly limited by the crucial necessity of a subsequent firing process, this technology may only be used in workshop conditions. Nevertheless, ceramics have a high relevance, as well as a rich history among building materials. This chapter presents suitable application cases in the field of tension between a new technology and a traditional material.
