Description

Print Clay Humidifier is a 3D-printed non-electric humidifier made with recycled ceramic waste. It provides a possible application of recycled ceramic material combined with print techniques, creating a sustainable design, both functional and elegant.It functions based on capillary water absorption, allowing the clay to absorb the water, bring it to the surface and give water into the air. It uses recycled ceramic powder to Increase its porosity and cooperation with the unique print structure, the water absorption of the clay has been strongly improving, also with the humidification function. It has two parts, the lower part is outside glazed, it can water inside then the up part can absorb water and give water into the air. Also when it’s at the end of its service life, It can still be used as recycled powder to continue adding into next print clay humidifiers, creating a self-recycled product.
