Part five of our ISH Innovation Preview puts the innovative 3D-printed washbasins from ceramic design expert RAK Ceramics in the spotlight...
Globally operating lifestyle brand RAK Ceramics – headquartered in the UAE – may be known for manufacturing products that, at their essence, have a centuries-old heritage, but the company is nonetheless future-facing. Take its latest innovation as a case in point: 3D-printed washbasins.
We all know about traditional casting. What this new production process does – and what makes it particularly interesting for architects and bathroom planners – is to expand the scope for creativity. Unique, limited-edition collections are now a reality, as specific designs, beyond the traditional design language of ceramics, can be realised. And this means, by extension, the ability to leverage sanitaryware to deliver the exact interior-architectural experience the architect or planner is looking for. In short: no compromise on creative vision.

Further benefits? Indeed there are. 3D-printing production is offered on-demand, is scalable, and has a turnaround time, according to RAK Ceramics , that’s shorter than the standard one. There’s also less material wastage involved, as the process, if you think about it, is additive.
This game-changing innovation is waiting for you to view at ISH in Frankfurt. So make sure you make a stop during your visit!
RAK Ceramics can be found in Hall 3.1, Stand D21 at ISH in Frankfurt from 13 to 17 March.
