Uporaba 3D tiska v lončarstvu

Maver, Lucija (author), Muck, Deja (mentor)

Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati vključenost tridimenzionalnega (angl. Three Dimensional; krajše 3D) tiska v lončarstvu. Osredotočili smo se na najbolj dostopni tehniki, in sicer uporabo tehnologije ekstrudiranja termoplastov za izdelavo prakalupa, ki služi kot pripomoček pri izdelavi kalupov za vlivanje gline, ter 3D-tisk gline. Končni izdelki so keramične skodelice za vsakdanjo rabo, izdelane s pomočjo omenjenih tehnik. V teoretičnem delu smo predstavili 3D-tisk in tehniko ekstrudiranja materialov na splošno. Podrobneje smo opisali material, kot je polietilen tereftalat glikol (angl. Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol; krajše PETG) in predstavili kategorizacijo glin glede na lastnosti. Raziskali smo razširjenost 3D-tiska gline na trgu in predstavili postopek izdelave kalupov za vlivanje gline. Naredili smo pregled umetnikov v tujini in Sloveniji, ki uporabljajo tehnike 3D-tiska za oblikovanje glinenih izdelkov. Eksperimentalni del obravnava izbiranje materialov, njihovo pripravo in postopek izdelave skodelic s posamezno tehniko. V prvem delu je predstavljena izdelava kalupa za vlivanje gline, vse od izdelave pramodela, ki smo ga natisnili s 3D-tiskalnikom, ki deluje na osnovi ekstrudiranja materialov, izdelave kalupa pa do končnega izdelka. Drugi del predstavlja postopek tiskanja s 3D-tiskalnikom za glino, vse od priprave gline pa do končane skodelice. Skodelice smo posušili, obrezali ter biskvitno in glazurno žgali, da so primerne za vsakdanjo uporabo.

Abstract

The aim of the thesis was to explore the involvement of three-dimensional (hereinafter referred to as 3D) printing in ceramics. The focus was on the most accessible techniques, specifically the use of thermoplastic extrusion technology to create a plaster mold, which serves as a tool for making molds for casting clay, and 3D printing of clay. The final products are ceramic cups for everyday use, made using the mentioned techniques. In the theoretical part, 3D printing and material extrusion technique were introduced in general. Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (hereinafter referred to as PETG) material was described in detail, and categorization of clay based on its properties was presented. The prevalence of 3D printing of ceramics in the market was explored, and the process of making molds for casting clay was presented. An overview of artists in foreign countries and Slovenia who use 3D printing techniques for shaping clay products was made. The experimental part deals with the selection of materials, their preparation, and the process of making cups with each technique. The first part presents the making of a mold for casting clay, from making a prototype, which we printed with a 3D printer that operates on the basis of material extrusion, making the mold, and to the final product. The second part presents the process of printing with a 3D printer for clay, from preparing the clay to the final cup. The cups were dried, trimmed, and biscuit and glaze fired to make them suitable for everyday use.
