Clay Bodies: Crafting the Future with 3D Printing
People have been using clay to make objects and shelters since time immemorial; but could it also be a key material of the future? San Francisco‐based xyqmake‐tank’ Emerging Objects has been experimenting with the use of clay in 3D printing, with sophisticated codes producing woven and textured forms and mixing different clays together. The studio's cofounders Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello here present these projects, as well as offering a potted history of clay's use and nature. Given its re‐resistance and thermal qualities, the benefits of eventually applying such techniques on an architectural scale are clear.
