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 ...

The MIT Mediated Matter Group’s 3D glass printer is slowly morphing from a conceptual tool to something designers could use one day. Design’s wonder material is also one of its most common: glass.

The 3D-printing of glass objects has been achieved before – we've seen it done by extruding molten glass, and even via a modern take on an ancient Egyptian technique. A new process developed at ...

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 ...

Researchers at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University have developed a method to produce glass objects with a 3D printer that eliminates the need for wasteful chemical glues to bind the layers together. To ...

While the thought of a machine that can squirt out endless ropes of molten glass is a bit frightening, the folks at MIT have just about perfected the process. In a paper published in 3D Printing and ...

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 ...
