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 ...

Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In recent years, consumer 3D printing has entered the mainstream, attracting users from diverse fields. With so many models and features available, choosing one can feel overwhelming for beginners. In ...

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 ...
