Shapeways, the mail-order 3D printing shop, will now print your objects in glass. That's right: no longer will you need to walk to a tacky strip-mall store to buy a hideous butterfly-shaped trinket ...

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 ...

Earlier this month, Micron3DP took the wraps off their latest third-generation 3D printing Cobra extruded head that has been reconstructed completely from metal. This innovative design enables it to ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a method of 3D-printing silica suspensions that are subsequently densified into transparent silica glass. Reporting the findings in Advanced Materials ...

A team of engineers and artists at the University of Washington's Solheim Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory has revived an ancient Egyptian glass casting method and developed "Vitraglyphic," a technique ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully 3D printed chalcogenide glass, a unique material used to make optical components that operate at mid-infrared wavelengths. The ability to 3D print ...

In a study published in Optical Materials Express, researchers have developed a new method for programming a commercially available 3D printer for glass extrusion. The development has allowed them to ...

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.
