Parked in the RIT glass hot shop, a first-of-its-kind device carries out a process sitting at the intersection of material, machine and maker. The technological marvel is the world’s first molten ...

Researchers have developed the capability to use recycled glass in 3D printing, opening doors to a more environmentally sustainable way of building and construction. Researchers from Nanyang ...

Researchers pioneer binder-free 3D printing of glass, using light to form precise silica structures for optics, medicine, and microfluidics. (Nanowerk News) Glassmaking has always been inseparable ...

If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

In contrast to the success of their molten-plastic cousins, paste extrusion 3D printers have never really attained much popularity. This is shame because, as the [Hand and Machine] research group at ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...

A new process enables printing of nanometer-scale quartz glass structures directly onto semiconductor chips. A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin is used as feedstock material for 3D printing of ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

No one thinks of glass as a replacement for bone. But researchers in China have developed a 3D printable bio-active glass that edges closer to the bone’s resilience. In animal tests, it supported bone ...
