Abstract
This research explores a novel technique for creating bespoke, slip-cast artifacts through the use of 6-axis robotic motion. By incrementally injecting different amounts of colored slip into the mold while it is rotated, we are able to achieve variable color, pattern, and structure. Because of the highly precise nature of the robotic motion, this variation can be repeated with a high degree of accuracy. In addition, the incremental injection of slip also allows us to achieve a full cast with a minimal amount of slip, removing the draining process of traditional slip casting entirely. The level of control this process might give a designer is explored through a series of tetrahedral components that demonstrate the types of marbling that can be achieved.
