3D Printing Ceramics

3D printing has been around in one form or another for a few years now, but one of the most prohibitively expensive aspects has always been the cost of print media. Most 3D printers use plastic, resin or metal media, which can be pricey, but in the last couple of years a new material has entered the market: 3D Printing Ceramic.

Unlike the specially-formulated plastic and resin media, 3D ceramic media can be easily made, and ends up costing the consumer a fraction of the price. So why would you use anything else? Well, for a start, buying 3D printers that can use ceramic can be expensive, and ceramics are much more brittle than plastics and metals.

But as printers come down in price, ceramic 3D printing is likely to become more and more affordable. Just imagine: if you break a plate and leave your dining set incomplete you can just print out a replacement. There are also many ways to use ceramic 3D printing to create ornament, vases and gifts, which have a more appealing texture than the ordinary plastic 3D printing media.

If you’re considering investing in a printer that uses ceramics, we’ve got all the options right here, so take a few moments to explore our range, which includes both budget 3D printers and top-end models.
