Innovative design studio Nervous System,has recently ventured into the realm of 3D printed ceramics by experimenting with Tethon 3D’s new ceramic resin material called Porcelite. With the new material, Nervous System set out to make a set of porcelain cups featuring the design studio’s distinctive scientific flair. Porcelite is actually a special resin that adds a firing stage to the production process. A porcelain UV curable resin, it is compatible with both SLA or DLP 3D printers. "Porcelite is a photo-cured resin material that fabricates a solid ceramic composite straight from the 3D printer. If desired, it can be fired in a kiln, resulting in a 100% porcelain object suitable for glazing or other traditional ceramic finishes," says Karen Linder, President and CEO of Tethon 3D. It essentially acts as any other resin, and objects are made of a solid ceramic composite once 3D printed. Firing it up in a kiln then completes the transformation, turning the objects into pure porcelain. This also makes them suitable for common porcelain treatment techniques, such as glazing. Most importantly, it also maintains the high resolution details common in SLA and DLP 3D printing, making this a perfect material option for industrial components and jewelry.
