Mediated Matter Lab reveals details on glass 3D printing tech Research & Education

by Business

For some time now, MIT’s Mediated Matter Lab has been working on developing an additive manufacturing platform capable of printing 3D structures made from glass. Despite having become something of a ubiquitous material in the 19th century thanks to new manufacturing innovations in the Industrial Revolution, glass has remained a tricky material in terms of fabricating complex geometries or custom shapes. In its research, the Mediated Matter Lab has set out to find a solution to these challenges.
