FUNERAL URN AND METHODS OF PRODUCING FUNERAL URNS

摘要

A process for low waste production of funerary urns includes the steps of providing cremain as a powder having a particulate size of between approximately 0.1 micron and approximately 1000 microns, providing composite material as a powder having a particulate size of between approximately 0.1 micron and approximately 1000 microns, placing the cremain and composite material into an input container of a 3D printer, wherein the composite material and the cremain are mixed to have at least approximately 20% by volume of the cremain, generating a 3D printer input file corresponding to at least one urn shape, and, based upon the input 3D printer input file, printing the at least one urn shape from the mixture with the 3D printer. The volume of the cremain can be as much as approximately 50%.
