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 ...

In Moscow, a lush 3-D forest of dense green trees stretches up to the rooftop and encircles the AFIMall, a new retail and entertainment complex. In Paris, folded, faux-marbleized pages jut out across ...

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 list of materials capable of being extruded through a 3D printer seems to grow by the week, moving well beyond plastics, food and metals to now include another unlikely substance: glass. And while ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
