This book aims at developing a material which can be successfully processed using the new AM approach of combining direct writing and freeze casting to enable customised ceramic products to be formed. It explores the possibility of a new process that will combine freeze-casting and the basic principles of AM based on extrusion methods. This book essentially reconnoitres the AM techniques that can be used to manufacture the end-use products as well as prototypes and this provides the opportunity to change the paradigm from mass production to mass customisation. It extensively aims to discover the new method that is capable of producing new ceramic products without the cost and restrictions associated with a conventional manufacturing porcelain process that requires tooling.
