MIT’s Mediated Matter Group made a video showing off their first of its kind optically transparent glass printing process. It will soothe your soul. Called G3DP (Glass 3D Printing) and developed in ...

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 ...

3-D printing is revolutionizing manufacturing, allowing anyone to make their own designs come to life and impressing us with incredible achievements such as 3-D printed houses, bridges, skin and drugs ...

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 ...

Glass and visions of the future go hand in hand. Towering skylines of glass and steel evoke a sense of progress like nothing else. And yet, the technology itself is ancient, and how we work glass is ...

MIT engineers have used 3D printing to create reusable glass bricks that withstand as much pressure as concrete blocks. What if construction materials could be put together, taken apart, and reused as ...

MIT's Mediated Matter Group focuses on "Nature-inspired Design and Design-inspired Nature" to create a set of biologically-inspired technologies and structures aimed at enhancing the relationship ...

The list of materials capable of being extruded through a 3D printer seems to grow by the week, moving well beyond plastics, food and metals to now include another unlikely substance: glass. And while ...
