Zetamix and Cerinnov Group partner to launch porcelain collection
September 21, 2023
Zetamix, a French subsidiary brand of Nanoe recognised for its industrial Additive Manufacturing filaments, is venturing into the realm of art and décor. The brand has partnered with Cerinnov Group, a well-known player in ceramic manufacturing, to introduce a collection of porcelain products. This collection includes filaments suitable with use for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) Additive Manufacturing, glazes, and ovens.
The first customers of this new line include Limoges porcelain manufacturer JL Coquet, the ceramic artisan Vesna Caric, the design studio BoldDesign, and artist Richard Grant. Leo Cochain, Porcelaine Coquet site manager, shared,”3D printing of porcelain opens new interesting potential for Porcelain Coquet, and we see it as a potential way to produce low quantity series for highly demanding customers requiring complex and personalised tableware. We’ve started experimenting with Zetamix porcelain filaments, and the first part look very promising.”
Guillaume de Calan, CEO of Zetamix, stated, “Motivated by our desire to bridge the gap between art, tableware, design and technology, we have developed the porcelain filament. This innovation makes ceramic 3D printing even more simple and affordable than before, especially since it allows usage of much more simple furnaces, and the use of on the shelf glazes.”
“We feel this new line product will be particularly attractive to porcelain manufacturers, designers, artists, and also porcelain amateurs who already owns 3D printers and can start 3D printing porcelain parts today,” Calan concluded.
The partnership with Cerinnov Group adds to the filaments and AM machines already offered by Zetamix a complete line of eight specialised glazes. These glazes enable colouring, smoothing, and waterproofing of the porcelain parts. Additionally, the partnership brings a dedicated furnace with a sintering capacity of 50 L.
Arnaud Hory, CEO of the Cerinnov Group, added, “The new partnership with Zetamix makes it possible to bring to the market a complete and unique 3D printing solution, affordable for both new ceramic manufacturers and experienced ones.”
Zetamix will sell these products through its existing reseller network, while Cerinnov will introduce these products to its established customer base in the ceramic and glass industries.
