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 ...

How hot does your 3D printer’s hot end get? Most low cost printers heat up to 240°C (464°F) at the most because they contain PEEK which starts to get soft if you go much higher. Even a metal hot end ...

Researchers in Kiel have developed a laser-based 3D printing process for glass. It significantly simplifies 3D printing with ...

The researchers at MIT’s Mediated Matter have invented a 3-D printer—G3DP—that produces optically transparent glass with the push of a button. Developed in collaboration with MIT’s Glass Lab, the ...
