Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have for the first time 3D-printed transparent glass at room temperature. This new 3D printing method can offer not only transparent ...

Transparent plastic is nothing new. However, 3D prints are usually opaque or–at best–translucent. [Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to print something really transparent. He noticed that Colorfabb had an ...

D printing is extremely practical when you want to produce small quantities of customized components. However, this ...

[DaveMakesStuff] demonstrates a great technique for 3D printing a sphere; a troublesome shape for filament-based printers to handle. As a bonus, it uses a minimum of filament. His ideas can be applied ...

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 ...

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 ...

Audi expects significant reduction in prototyping lead times for tail light covers, with turnaround times decreasing up to 50% in comparison to traditional methods MINNEAPOLIS & REHOVOT, ...

LiDAR is a powerful tool for mapping terrain, and it can also be integrated into 3D printing. Learn about it here!

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a method of 3D-printing silica suspensions that are subsequently densified into transparent silica glass. Reporting the findings in Advanced Materials ...

It’s already possible to use tiny granules of glass in a powder bed with conventional 3-D printing techniques like jetting and sintering, but the products turn out opaque. Now researchers at MIT have ...
