Print Clay Humidifier is a 3D-printed non-electric humidifier made with recycled ceramic waste.
It provides a application direction, that ceramic waste combined with advanced manufacturing technology, to create a sustainable design both functional and elegant.
It provides a application direction, that ceramic waste combined with advanced manufacturing technology, to create a sustainable design both functional and elegant.
It function based on capillary water absorption, allows clay to absorb the water, bring to surface and give water into the air. It using recycled ceramic powder to increase its porosity and cooperation with the unique print structure, the water absorption of the clay has been strongly improve, also with the humidification function.
For clay, higher porosity means higher water absorption efficiency, that allows clay to bring more and higher water into the surface. At the other side, cooperation with the unique print structure, It create the pressure difference, which further improves the water absorption of the clay.
When it’s at the end of it service life, It can still be used as recycled powder.
The project shows how past waste can be transformed into present beneficial resources, with the aim of expanding ceramic recycling and helping to build a resource-recycling society.
