Until now, only two ways to shape glass in a 3D printing process have been demonstrated: a fused deposition moulding approach in which soda lime glass is heated to around 1,000 °C and a manual wire ...

3D printing is one of the best things that has happened to the maker community in recent years, however the resulting output has always been prone to damage when used in high temperature applications ...

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 ...

UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria) has co-developed a novel manufacturing process for 3D-printed fused quartz objects. This innovative technology enables the production of high-precision shaped parts in ...

A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, researchers report.
