You can now throw out any fantasy you have of having the ghost of Patrick Swayze in helping you mold a ceramic. Unfold lab in Belgium has successfully built a DIY ceramic printer.  In following the movement from traditional techniques to computerized versions, ceramic making can now be done with rapid prototyping and three-dimensional printing. Unfold have designed a machine that uses powder clay which is mixed with water and printed out using a syringe.  The design is based from an open source project and prints wet clay from its nozzle, which can be placed in a kiln and fired.

This design has been successfully tested by Unfold, they drafted a double walled vessel with fins connecting to two walls, and then they fired the vessel along with a number of other testing pieces.
