Moments after molten glass slips through a vitrigraph kiln and auto coils into form, it’s merged with a glass-blown object made at the opposite end of the RIT glass program’s hot shop. RIT glass ...

MIT scientists created a way to 3D print glass-like structures without extreme temperatures. The special mixture used provides good structural integrity and diverse design possibilities. Researchers ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

A method for 3D-printing glass that uses cartridges heated to 1,000°C has been developed by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The process owes very little to printing and is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA, have employed multi-material 3D printing to create tailored gradient refractive index glass optics that could make for ...

In recent years, lithium disilicate glass-ceramics have attracted considerable attention from dental ceramics researchers owing to their exceptional semi-translucency, mechanical strength, and ...
