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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional printing allows extremely small and complex structures to be made even in small series. A new method now allows glass to be used for this technique. As a consequence of the ...

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 ...

(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 ...

A modern update to how the ancient paper arts of origami and kirigami are used is helping scientists develop intricate shapes in glass and other hard materials using 3D printing, researchers said. A ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...
