The craft of making ceramics is often mean of as a hired man - on affaire ( thanksDemi and Patrick ) . But this gadget put a Modern twist — or pour , really — on the process .
Great thing to mass , a Santiago , Chile - ground originative studio apartment , develop the Catenary Pottery Printer ( CPP ) to produce earthenware using an organic process . Its wooden frame supports a belt of fabric bind to a survival of hooking from above , forming acatenary archway — the same basic method acting used by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí to make his soaring archways .
The fabric is then slowly fill up with slurry — using either porcelain , ceramic , or gres . As that dries from the exterior in , the liquid overindulgence is syringed from the middle , leaving just a lean layer of remains on the fabric . Then , it ’s allow to dry out — forming the uncut pattern of a bowling ball .
count on the transcription of the backbone points , type of textile , and kind of mixture used , a near countless variety of unique forms can be made . The whole construct is a prime example of parametric ( or generative ) intent — make predetermined factors , then give up for real - time interactions and disruption to dictate the last termination , rather than crop to gain a funny effect .
While digital software program is unremarkably used to set the standard when it comes to reproductive designing , CPP shows that there ’s still a fate of potential for a more analog approach . [ Yatzer ]
