Direct jet printing can assemble ceramic powder into a three dimensional shape by firing droplets of ink through a nozzle to build a multiple layered structure. As with stereolithography and selective laser sintering, the surface texture is expected to witness the layered assembly. The ability to create vertical walls by direct ink‐jet printing was explored using a test piece based on a maze. The structure and topography are discussed in terms of droplet spreading and drying.
