- 3D Printed Ceramic Powerwall Visualises Energy Through ArchitectureRotterdam-based Studio RAP has completed Powerwall, a large-scale 3D printed ceramic artwork for the Switchstation Beverwijk transformer station in the Netherlands. Studio RAP developed…
- What not to miss at Dutch Design Week 2020 part 4: ceramicsDutch Design Week 2020 takes place from 17 to 25 October. Due to Covid-19, the event will be held entirely virtually, but that does…
- Eggshell-based ceramics and bioplasticsEggshells, a globally abundant food waste, are increasingly recognized as a sustainable feedstock for innovative materials such as ceramics and bioplastics. Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate serves as a low-carbon alternative to mined limestone in ceramic production. Eggshells are also revolutionizing bioplastics as a biobased filler and biodegradability enhancer.
- Ultra-light sponge material made from ceramic nanofibresCeramic is a very heat resistant and strong material. However, if you have ever dropped a plate or mug, you also know that the…
- Mussel Shells As A Secondary Raw Material In Ceramic TablewareMussel shells are a by-product of the seafood industry and are often treated as waste. However, Ocean Ceramics, a company founded by four students…
- CLEAN-AIR-CITY-CERAMICSClean-Air-City-Ceramics closes a loop. Harmful particulate matter that is captured directly from the polluted air in heavy industry is given a place in the production of glazes for architectural ceramics. Here you can see an example of a tile made from 60% recycled materials and finished with a waste glaze from the Clean-Air-City-Ceramics series.
- ‘Wreck’ experiments with reclaimed wasted daily-use ceramicsDesign studio Bentu used waste daily-use ceramics in experimental furniture and an artistic installation during the Shenzhen Design Week. The city of Chaozhou in…
- New Material: Ceramic Wood at MX2016Ceramic wood, which is short for ceramics made from wood, is the result of a material inspired process addressing the question of the composition…
- Ceramic TextileCeramic textile is an innovative industrialized system based on an interwoven steel wire mesh, which is enclosed in a mosaic of ceramic clay tiles stacked in horizontal and vertical bands. Its main advantage is that it provides us with an ancient material in a new format that improves on traditional manual piece-by-piece installation.
- Glazed Ceramic IridescentCeramics experts at Koninklijke Tichelaar have developed a range of glazed ceramic tiles that achieve a variety colour tones and iridescent gradations. Responding to different qualities of light, these glazed ceramics have been requested by renowned architecture bureaus for different projects across Europe and Asia.
- High-Performance Ceramics Through Grain Boundary EngineeringCeramics are widely used across sectors such as construction, product design, electronics and healthcare. Their durability, heat resistance and versatility make them highly relevant…
- Sea Silt Ceramics: Transforming Dredged Silt into Facade InnovationIn the heart of Leeuwarden, the circular community hub Bouwurk showcases a striking example of sustainable design: Sea Silt Ceramics. These ceramic wall tiles,…
- Sea silt CeramicsA collaboration between Humade, Koninklijke Tichelaar, Groningen Seaports and Deltares is investigating the use of dredged sea silt from the Wadden Sea as a sustainable raw material for ceramic production. The project, titled Sea Silt Ceramics, was initiated in 2020 by design studio and material innovator Humade. Early-stage research demonstrated that surplus marine sediment can be used in the creation of ceramic products.
- 3D printed lamps made from recycled ceramicsReprint Ceramics, a joint initiative consisting of Fabrique Publique and Coudre Studio, consists of a series of parametrically designed 3D printed lamps, made from…
- Glazed Ceramics in Various BlueGlazed ceramics in Various Blue by Dutch ceramics expert Koninklijke Tichelaar is a range of tiles finished with coloured glass glazes. The wide range of blue tones is created through layers of glass. The glass is composed of a mixture of non-organic minerals: metal oxides and silicates. This is mixed with water to form a liquid, which is then poured over the ceramics.
- Ceramic SteelThe ceramic steel process results in a product combining the qualities of ceramic with those of high grade steel. An added value to Ceramic Steel is the possibility of silk screen printing. This technology permits the fusion of extra layers of enamel paste resulting in a non-ageing (full color) print fired into the surface.
- CeraShingle Explores The Future Of 3D Printed Ceramic FaçadesStudio WE, based in Los Angeles, has developed CeraShingle, a 3D printed ceramic cladding system that combines robotic fabrication with advanced material design. The…
- Origami-Inspired 3D-Printed Ceramics Improve Flexibility and DurabilityResearchers at the University of Houston have developed a new type of ceramic structure that can bend without breaking. The development is aimed at…
- Ceramics made of reclaimed industrial waste by-productsCalled Circular Ceramics, Sara Howard designed a tableware collection made of reclaimed industrial waste by-products, aiming to minimise the consumption of finite raw materials…
- Ceramic foam filtersThese ceramic foam filters are designed for mould-casting metal. Thanks to the mechanism of creation of the “filter cake” on the inlet filter side and thanks to depth filtration inside the ceramic matrix, these ceramic foam filters are an effective instrument to reach metallurgical purity of molten metal during the process of casting. The filters also calm mould filling.
- Ceramic building bytesBuilding Bytes are ceramic bricks created with a 3D printing machine. Bricks can be stacked or interlocked to create undulating walls, complex arches and…
