'Filigree Robotics' experiments with a combination of the traditional ceramic technique of ‘Overforming’ with 3d Laserscan and Robotic extrusion technique. Shortly told is the technique of ‘overforming’ about forming the ceramic material over a three-dimensional mould. The technique is well known in ceramic craft and has a lineage of use for the making of fine porcelain. 

‘Overforming’ allows for an immediate and artistic approach to the creation of the form and invites for experimentation. In Filigree Robotics we combine the crafting of the mould for ‘overforming' with a parallel running generative algorithm, which is fed by a constant laserscan of the 3d surface of the mould. We have created this algorithm in a way, that it analyses the topology of the mould, identifies high and low points and uses these as starting point for the ornamentation of a toolpath for 3d printing, which follows the movements of the surface.
