Until now, only two ways to shape glass in a 3D printing process have been demonstrated: a fused deposition moulding approach in which soda lime glass is heated to around 1,000 °C and a manual wire ...

Researchers in Kiel have developed a laser-based 3D printing process for glass. It significantly simplifies 3D printing with glass. Laser-Assisted Melt Printing (LAMP) is what the material scientists ...

Scientists combine materials science invention with newly developed 3D printing technology. Components made of highly transparent glass can be manufactured in just a few minutes and with great ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...
