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 ...

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'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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

3D printing has come a long way in the last few years with printers getting cheaper and printing materials becoming easier to work with. Typically, a 3D printer works with plastics of some sort for ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a 3D printer that produces intricate glass designs with the push of a button. The machine uses molten glass as its “ink,” ...

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 ...

MIT scientists have come up with a 3D Printing system that uses glass as building material. Pictured: Autodesk's Ember 3D stereo lithography 3D printer is displayed at the 2015 International CES at ...
