3d printing will definitely have a big impact on all kinds of ceramics including tiles. Not it’s just a matter of bringing down the cost. There will be machines in the future that can rapidly produce custom 3d printed ceramics on an industrial scale.

I think it is the volume of items, but something about this looks different than anything I have seen before printed from video games.
3D printing is full of math based designs. Many look pretty much the same. This one seems to work more than most.
Material: nylon (metalized limited edition)
Construction sites often look better then their intended end result.
This vase symbolises, and at the same time, questions the fabrication process which was used to make it.
Modern day rapid prototyping allows for almost instant satisfaction of the wildest 3 dimensional dreams.
With the beauty of the construction site intentionally integrated in this design, it supports both an aesthetic and a functional purpose.
This eggshell thin vase simply would not be able to exist and function without it’s voronoi skeleton.
When you imagine all the development hours that went into the creation of the internet and then apply all those hours to digital manufacturing, it is possible to imagine a future where 3d printed things are standard items.
So the 3D printed pen project is still in progress. The second iteration came back cleaned today (full of printing errors, but none that a razor couldn’t fix), and I was able to fully assemble it without the O-Ring. That’s a good sign of progress, but the further this goes the more things pop up as problems. Gripe list after the jump.
There is a lot of 3d printed objects like this one, but I like the fact that all the parts are free moving.

This is a bit of news about 3d printing in the arab world, but the print is what I would like to note. It is a pretty interesting piece of architectural 3d printing.
First 3D Printing Shop in Arab World Opens in Lebanon
It was only a matter of time: the 3D printing revolution has officially arrived in Lebanon, where a…
Every day there is a new 3d printed head. This is one of the best I have seen. I think it is because of the slight tilt of the head, making it easier to print.
This is a whole different way to think about 3d printing, as essentially a 2.5 painting technique.
Holy crap, Shane Hope, and 3-d printing.
It is still amazing to me that this is possible with 3d printing! I have often heard that complexity is free with 3d printing, but the other thing that is free is assembly.
Nice shot showing both a high level of detail in the 3d model and a high level of care in producing the final piece.
