Kwambio Reveals Brand-New Ceramic 3D Printer at CES
Reading Time: 3 minutes There aren’t many machines capable of 3D printing ceramics (find an in-depth overview here). Not only are there just a handful of machines commercially available, also the process hasn‘t changed much in years. Kwambio, an NYC-based startup, wants to offer a new angle. They built their high-precision 3D printer, Ceramo One, specifically for 3D printing of ceramic…… Continue reading Kwambio Reveals Brand-New Ceramic 3D Printer at CES
