With the climate crisis becoming increasingly more serious, many people are seeking more eco-friendly alternatives to everyday things, like fashion, eating and transport.

Lithoz presents production-ready CeraFab S65 system with 4 integrated build units 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Lithoz, the Austrian leader in 3D printed ceramics, is not a company known for its aggressive marketing and communication efforts.
