Process
Cleaning excess powder from the 3D printed molds is our biggest limitation in manufacturing porcelain. The mold is an inverse of the product itself, where solids of the product are empty space. Laser sintering the mold leaves its interior full of loose powder. We carefully blow it out with compressed air through the flat base of the model, but tight cavities far from the base opening are hard or impossible to clean. This means that models which are complex and have multiple holes in walls or long wires become increasingly hard to print. If you need to troubleshoot, try making the model solid and based on a single “core”.
Because of the molding process, some surfaces may contain seam lines and marks from the funnel. We do our best to repair the surface of the model but because this is done manually there may be some trace memory of these marks left on the surface.
