As each layer is printed, the printer table drops, a layer of powder is deposited to support the object, and the process repeats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/3d-egyptian-ceramic-printing\/24063\/\">Ancient Egyptian faience may be key to printing 3D ceramics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It isn\u2019t actually a ceramic, but rather a paste made of quartz or sand, calcite lime and a mixture of alkalis.
