Abstract
Art is a medium that allows people to connect with diverse cultures and historical periods. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to these artifacts as most are located in faraway international museums that can be expensive to visit. The global trend of museums digitizing and uploading STL files of their collections provides an opportunity to replicate these pieces using additive manufacturing. Our solution to this accessibility issue was to use clay and a 3D printer to recreate any desired artwork. We explored the feasibility of the Delta Wasp 2040 and various clays, ultimately settling on a mixture of Nepheline Syenite, Silica, Grolleg Kaolin, OM4 Ball Clay, and plasticizer, for optimal print quality. Multiple STL files were printed to test other printing parameters like layer height, nozzle size, pressure, and print speed. Finally, we curated and printed STL files from different museums and other online sources and were able to replicate them. Our work shows that it is possible to recreate art pieces in a cost-effective and easily replicable way, making them accessible to everyone, and reviving history, culture, and eras.
