Precursors

The first experiments to adapt a 3d printer wiht clay were made from 2014-2015.
Few ceramists, but rather designers or university teachers who were already familiar with 3d printers and had the technical and computerknowledge to rise to this challenge.
Here a few of them. All of them have an interesting experience to communicate and participate in the better mastery of this new approach to ceramics.

Special mention for a talented potter Jonathan Keep and his excellent work entirely shared. He has just published A Guide to Clay 3D PrintingThe French version is here! Feel free to send us your comments and questions
