Molten Glass 3 D Printed From a Kiln at 1900 Degrees MIT Glass Lab + the Mediated Matter

an additive manufacturing machine extrudes molten glass a process the team believes could be used to create architectural components and even entire building facades. The project, titled G3DP, represents a first of its kind optically transparent glass printing process, the group said. Glass 3D printing (or G3DP) is based on a dualheated chamber concept, with the top chamber heating the glass and lower chamber slowly cooling it to prevent internal stresses. The top chamber operates at approximately 1900F, and funnels the molten material through an aluminazirconsilica nozzle into its programmable shapes.
