This presentation on multicolor ceramic 3D printing was created as part of the National Council for Education in the Ceramic Arts in March of 2021. The 2021 conference was held remotely due to the COVID pandemic. The presentation focuses on the development and refinement of a two-color 3D printing process in clay. It also focuses on several years of experimentation and development of custom clay printing tools.

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Tom Lauerman, an artist and educator who is working with a consortium of over 200 researchers to develop personal protective equipment for medical personnel during the COVID-19 outbreak. In our interview we talk about the evolution of PPE designs and how rapid prototyping using 3D printers has made daily progress possible. We also discuss the ideas behind Tom’s ceramic sculpture and his work as an educator at Penn State University. April 2020
