This paper describes a development to the 3D printing methodology for clay, incorporating a closed-loop feedback system of material surveying and self-correction to recompute new depositions based on scanned local deviations from the digital model.
If utilizing spatial print trajectories with embedded print parameters can control the extrusion behavior of the material, then the actions of anchor, drag, and pull of the clay can be simulated at the nozzle tip.
Researchers at the Material Processes and Systems Group have developed a computationally-based manufacturing process that allows for variable pattern casting through the use of ferrofluid – a mixture of suspended magnetic nanoparticles in a carrier liquid.
