To watch this transparent cube build a ceramic bowl must be like watching magic. The nozzle shoots clay out, designing sculptures layer by layer, until the finished object is ready to be fired in a kiln.

Below you can see some of the creations made from the powder clay mixing with water in the printer's tubes. If ever the movie Ghost is remade and updated with 21st century technology, Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's replacements should be straddling one of these 3D ceramic printers instead. Now there's a film I'd pay money to watch. [Unfold via Designboom]
