Abstract

The ceramic tile wall is a decorative element used inside restaurants, museums, hotels, aristocratic residences, and places of worship. It plays a critical role in the development of a structure with strong personality and unique qualities by providing relief patterns specific to history or era. The demand for distinctive ornamental wall ceramics that can be mass produced with precision and accuracy has been a challenge for numerous ceramic enterprises in Indonesia, which have historically relied on the skills of artistic professionals in a handmaking process. The purpose of this research was therefore to develop and apply a ceramic tile design process that integrates computer design and fabrication methods with traditional ceramic production techniques. Using the ArtCAM 2015R2 software, photos of batik and Islamic themes were effectively converted into a 2.5D computer-aided design model. Additive manufacturing technology was then used in conjunction with Objet30 Pro 3D printer to precisely produce master molds with Islamic nuances such as puzzle and floral patterns, then conventional ceramic fabrication technology was employed to produce ceramic tiles using these molds. By combining computer-aided design and rapid prototyping technologies, a variety of exact and detailed Islamic decorative ceramic wall tiles were produced with dimensional accuracies within 2.00 mm. Furthermore, the proposed approach demonstrated a 90% reduction in design-to-production time from to 10–12 months to roughly 1–1.5 months.

Highlights

  • Ceramics are clay-based materials that are commonly prepared from powders and subsequently fabricated using the sintering process

  • The use of Indonesian batik motifs (IBMs) was considered to ascertain whether the proposed ceramic tile wall design with ornamentation bore a substantial resemblance to the adornment found in Islamic architecture, in the Middle East (Figure 8), as these tile designs were intended for application in a mosque

  • The stages of realizing a unique ceramic wall tile design combining traditional Islamic geometric patterns (IGPs) with IBMs using ArtCAM 2015 and 3D-printing technology were demonstrated within the local Indonesian porcelain ceramics industry

Summary

Introduction

Ceramics are clay-based materials that are commonly prepared from powders and subsequently fabricated using the sintering (firing) process. Ceramic products have long been produced in many countries, and their designs and artistic qualities are typically influenced by the local history and culture. The ceramic art and design process forms clay and ceramic materials into artistic. Fabricating Islamic Ceramic Wall Tiles pottery, tableware, tiles, figurines, and other sculptures. Such products may comprise goods with motifs ranging from traditional to contemporary. Ceramic art can be found in domestic appliances, displays, and architectural trimmings. Ceramic tiles are highly popular in modern architecture because of their low maintenance, resilience, and ease of cleaning, allowing them to withstand a variety environments including wet areas, dry areas, heavily used rooms, countertops, fireplaces, and tucked-away corners (Lang, 2004; Renzi, 2009)
