# Curable 3D Printer Resins The Tethon 3D Porcelite Ceramic Resin Can be Printed then Fired By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-resin References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/porcelite-ceramic-3d-printing-resin-for-sla-and-dlp-systems-video/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1885710086/porcelite-ceramic-resin-for-sla-dlp-3d-printing) The material used by [3D printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimaterial-3d-printer) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-church) where early adopters can pick up their very own supply of the Tethon 3D Porcelite resin to print items from home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Durable Ceramic Resin:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of durable ceramic resin in 3D printing to create more robust and versatile products. - **Printed-to-fire Creations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop techniques to print objects that can be fired, allowing for the creation of unique works of art and functional items. - **Porcelain Transformation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate the transformation of ceramic resin into 100% porcelain, opening up new possibilities for design and manufacturing processes. ### Who This Affects Most - **3D Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of ceramic resins in the 3D printing industry to expand the range of materials and products that can be produced. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of 3D printing and ceramics to revolutionize the creation of artistic and functional objects. - **Home Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop accessible 3D printing technologies for home use, allowing individuals to create and personalize ceramic-based products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Strong Dental Resins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-health.md) - [Industrial-Grade Resin Printing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyspectra-cor-zero.md) - [Low-Cost 3D Printing Resins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formlabs-creator-series.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Home Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-house.md) - [Flame Retardant Resins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liqcreate.md) - [Ultra-Accurate Resin 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocket-1-resin-3d-printer.md) - [3D-Printed Tiled Ceramic Archways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delft-blue.md) - [3D-Printed Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-printed-fire-pit.md) - [Innovative 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-3d-printers.md)
