Niu people use 3D ceramic printing technology to make a coffee cup every day.

If you drink coffee with different cups every day, your mood will be very different.

Bennet Trini, a prolific Spanish designer, has completed his plan of "one coffee cup a day" with the help of 3D ceramic printing technology.

"these coffee cups are the product of creativity, a testament to digital manufacturing, and it has achieved something previously incredible, turning the product from a conceptual design into a physical object in the hands of consumers within 24 hours," Trini said. "

The "one coffee cup a day" program lasts 30 days, and every day Trini makes a bizarre coffee cup. The time it takes for each cup to be conceived, designed, shaped and made is controlled within 24 hours. In addition, the glazed ceramics he uses also meet the standards of safety, heat resistance and recycling. However, the price of cups is not cheap, with the price of each cup (about 4.5 centimeters in diameter) ranging from $36 to $81.

The most important thing to change from a concept to a real thing is to build a real model. The whole 3D printing process takes about 4 hours. The organic binder is deposited in a specific area on the tiled ceramic powder, and each layer is built, the ceramic powder and binder continue to be added at the top until the entire model is completed. The model will then be heated in the furnace so that the binder will be solidified. After coming out of the furnace, sweep away the outer layer of ceramic powder, then a solid model is made.

In order for the cup to maintain its structural shape permanently, it needs to be sent to the furnace and "honed" with high temperature. By pre-glazing it with a water-based spray, the surface roughness can be reduced, and then heated at low temperature, laying the foundation for the final glazing on the surface. After layers of processing, the coffee cup with bright luster is finished. Text / picture according to fruit shell

Trini's coffee cup needs to go through a series of processes.
