It’s pretty much a given that rapid prototyping will become rapid manufacturing soon enough. Still, it’s amazing to see what it can actually do even now (see self-replicating machines) .

When I read about this process my head starting spinning. Being able to produce ceramic work using rapid prototyping/manufacturing process creates so many possibilities for ceramics as a medium but it can potentially take away its appeals as well… And then my thought wandered towards what kind of ceramic products could be manufactured this way and then to the technical side of the the process like how much heat can be applied to the powder to make it actually vitrified… Like I say, my head was spinning and thoughts went wild.
And then I realized that this to an extent means what I learned in school is very much obsolete in the near near future. That depresses me a little.
For those who care, please follow through to read more about the project. It’s actually quite interesting.
