Filigree
printing delicate ceramics in 3d
Filigree Robotics is a research project with the Center for Information Technology in Architecture, at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Building off of prior experience with ceramic studio Superformlab and 3d printing ceramics on flat surfaces, we brought a 3d aspect to the printing with laser scanning and robotics. Using a LIDAR scanner, a 3D surface is digitized, designed with, and printed on. A robotic arm and custom ceramics extruder are combined to print on the complex surface. The outcome was shown at a public exhibition in February 2016.
