This page describes the research done by Unfold on extruding ceramic materials with a RepRap. The development platform used is a Bits from Bytes Rapman so all extruder cad files are designed for this machine or are machine independent. They should be easily adaptable to Mendel or other machines. This page describes experiments with various types of paste extruders and ceramic clay recipes.
