3D Systems showcased today its new CeraJet™ 3D printer, extending its 3D printing portfolio to the ancient artisanal craft of pottery and ceramics. Ideal for artists, designers, makers and consumers, CeraJet prints intricate and detailed ceramic objects fast using 3DS' Color-Jet-Printing (CJP) technology, that are ready for firing and glazing.
This class of 3D printers and materials infuses the age-old tradition of ceramics with the ability to make previously unimagined complex shapes. CeraJet will be showcased for the first time at the 2014 International CES in Las Vegas, NV, January 7-10, 2014, at the 3DS booth, LVCC South Hall 31424.

"CeraJet's affordability, utility and powerful functionality is sure to revolutionize ceramic artisanship for the benefit of brands, retailers, designers, shops and hobbyists."
