The Ceramics Department has developed technology which can change the ceramics department outlook, with this technology we can create a digital file and convert it to an actual, three-dimensional finished product. The original technology was a rapid prototyping printer, which has been adjusted to print ceramic objects.

There are numerous future applications, including filtration systems, biomedical, bone graphing, stone and brick and the tile industry.

The technology is still experimental, but the University is in negotiations with the Z Corporation to get the product licensed and become the sole distributor of the ceramic printing product.
