This research project explores the innovative application of 3D printing technology in the creation of tile units with diverse materials and geometries. The project aims to develop a comprehensive methodology for designing and fabricating negative molds using 3D printing, which will subsequently be employed to produce tiles in various materials such as ceramics, concrete, and polymers.

By leveraging the precision and flexibility of 3D printing, complex geometrical patterns and intricate designs can be easily achieved, enabling the creation of bespoke tiles tailored to specific architectural and aesthetic requirements. The process involves the initial design of the tile geometry in a digital environment, followed by the 3D printing of the negative mold. This mold is then used in traditional manufacturing processes to cast the final tile product.

The research evaluates the mechanical properties, durability, and aesthetic qualities of the tiles produced from different materials, as well as the efficiency and scalability of the proposed manufacturing technique. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating advanced 3D printing technologies with conventional tile production methods to enhance design versatility, reduce production costs, and promote sustainable manufacturing practices.
