Hamburg’s new concert hall opened late last year to acclaim from architectural critics around the world. The soaring structure has a façade of some 2,000 flat and curved glass panels, giving the ...

When seeing a story from MIT’s Lincoln Labs that promises 3D printing glass, our first reaction was that it might use some rare or novel chemicals, and certainly a super-high-tech printer. Perhaps it ...

For most of us, 3D printing means printing in plastic of some sort — either filament or photo resin. However, we have all wanted to print in other materials — especially more substantial materials.

The new organic-inorganic hybrid resin allows laser 3D printed structures to be converted into transparent silica glass at lower temperatures than conventional methods (650-700°C) and with ...

The 3D-printing of glass objects has been achieved before – we've seen it done by extruding molten glass, and even via a modern take on an ancient Egyptian technique. A new process developed at ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have 3D-printed the world’s smallest wine glass—nearly indistinguishable with the naked eye—with a rim smaller than the width of a human hair. But the idea wasn’t to cater ...

The palette of materials that can be used as 3-D printing “ink” is quickly growing in diversity, but one ubiquitous material has, until now, been absent: transparent glass. This object was built by a ...

Glass is increasingly being used in fiber optics, consumer electronics and microfluidics for “lab-on-a-chip” devices. Unfortunately, traditional glassmaking can be costly and slow, and 3D-printed ...

AZoM speaks with Joseph Toombs, a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley, about his research that has developed a new 3D printing process for the manufacture of small glass objects. I ...

Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed a 3D printing technique to create glass micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), which could make portable devices more energy-efficient and ...
