Researchers Achieve 3D Printed Glass with Complex Geometry
Researchers from ETH Zürich have developed a technique to produce complex glass objects with 3D printing. The method is based on stereolithography, one of the first 3D-printing techniques developed during the 1980s. The process allows objects to be built up layer by layer, with parameters that can be changed on a layer-by-layer basis, including pore size.
