The material used by 3D printers is overwhelmingly plastic in makeup, but the new Tethon 3D Porcelite ceramic resin is designed to be a more durable option for makers to utilize. After being printed, the Tethon 3D Porcelite will enable users to paint and fire the creation for the ability to create works of art that are suitable for a variety of uses.
Once fired in a kiln, the Tethon 3D Porcelite transforms into 100% porcelain, which is surely going to revolutionize how we think about design, the creation of artwork and beyond. The ceramic resin is currently funding on Kickstarter where early adopters can pick up their very own supply of the Tethon 3D Porcelite resin to print items from home.
