It’s already possible to use tiny granules of glass in a powder bed with conventional 3-D printing techniques like jetting and sintering, but the products turn out opaque. Now researchers at MIT have ...

Using the foundations of 3D printing and applying them to the ancient art of glass production, the team at MIT has created a glass printing machine called G3DP. ...

A new 3D printing method makes glass parts all at once rather than layer by layer. Stephen J. Mraz Glass is increasingly being used in fiber optics, consumer electronics and microfluidics for ...

While the thought of a machine that can squirt out endless ropes of molten glass is a bit frightening, ... MIT researchers are now 3D-printing glass. John Biggs. 1:13 AM PST · December 31, 2018.

Lab Scientists Successfully Print Glass Optics April 17, 2018 Researchers have successfully 3D printed optical-quality glasses, on par with commercial glass products.

Once the glass filament has been printed, it's placed in an oil bath where the temperature is then raised to 250°C. An organic solvent is then used to clean any residue from the print.

Show RCA 2011: German designer Markus Kayser has built a 3D-printing machine that uses sunlight and sand to make glass objects in the desert. Called The Solar Sinter, the device uses a large ...

Three-dimensional printing allows extremely small and complex structures to be made even in small series. A method developed at the KIT for the first time allows also glass to be used for this ...

New York State-based start-up Energy Materials Corporation (EMC) has gone public with plans for roll-to-roll printing of perovskite PV on glass. The plan is backed by two partnerships—one with ...
