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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Igor Gaspar, a mechanical engineer, teacher, and researcher at MATE University in ...

Scientists have created the world’s smallest wine glass, narrower than a human hair. Made out of actual glass, the model is a test run of a new 3D-printing process that could help make nanoscale glass ...

I tested the first consumer-grade UltraViolet printer to see if it what it can do for makers, and I was impressed.

3D printed concrete may lead to a shift in architecture and construction. Because it can be used to produce new shapes and forms that current technologies struggle with, it may change the ...

Researchers created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics. (Nanowerk News) Glass has been a ...

Seyed Ghaffar receives funding from Brunel University London. [email protected] received funding from European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (MSCA-IF) Mehdi Chougan does ...

A 3D printable bio-active glass could be used to repair bone damage and help them grow back, a study suggests. The newly developed bio-glass—made with “green” and "cost-efficient" methods—was found to ...
