    >...Clay-3D-Printing explores the potentials of combining robotic fabrication and additive manufacturing techniques as generative drivers in the design process of clay vases. The research investigates the structural and aesthetic effects through systematic manipulation of manufacturing parameters in clay-3d-printing.

//Stage_1: Learning how to fail better

 

  //Snapshot: Slicing-Applet


//Stage_2: Optimizing
Through the implementation of interior support structure the vase gains stability and stiffness. As a result overhangs up to 35 degree are feasible.



//Stage_3: Patterns
The targeted manipulation of the printing path allows the generation of surface pattern. In combination with attractor points as a driver for the pattern amplitude smooth texture transitions are visible.
