Ceramics additive manufacturing has been studied for close to two decades almost as long as am has existed and while it has shown great promise from the very beginning only very recently have the first real practical and commercial applications of ceramics 3d printing begun to emerge. Just as limited edition hand bound art books have their place alongside the modern mass printed book and e book handmade and mass produced ceramics don t necessarily conflict with each other.

I can answer part one of your question about the manufacturing.

Clay is reduced to a liquid or slip by the addition of water. The printing press is a device that allows for the mass production of uniform printed matter mainly text in the form of books pamphlets and newspapers.
