3D Printing Maker

Biography

In 2018 Garrett Durland went from being an engineer at Oak Ridge National Lab to running a 3D printed bathroom sign business. Looking to print with materials other than plastic, he focused on ceramics and created a clay 3D printer by modifying a plastic printer. He describes his process as machine-assisted coil building. The 3D printer requires constant attention and intervention to produce greenware that will eventually be glazed by brush and fired in an electric kiln.
