MIT has created a new system which allows them to 3D print glass. They used two heated chambers, one 1900°F chamber acting as a kiln and another to anneal the structures.

Am I the only one who has a craving to eat molten glass? I mean you CAN eat it. But only once.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Kind of dissapointing imo. I would have hoped it would be a sintering system rather than the typical fdm style of 3d printing. The only real difference between this and your run of the mill fdm 3d printers is the heat at which they run.

Oh please like anyone will actually do this. That kind of 3d printer will be damn expensive, the one we have at school was 32k$ but only does plastic. Let alone glass. Its easy to say hey this is possible we did it, its another to make it affordable. I still bet hand made glass is of higher quality.

Yeah OK, but transparent aluminium WHEN???

 

No I'm kidding, this is cool.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

From Plastic to Ice Cream to Glass.

MIT has got their priorities straight.

Yeah it does plastic AND support material, its a uprint 32k$, im one of 4 people that know how to use it xD

ours is 55k at my high school

but it was donated.

ours is PBS 

Nice! Ours was purchased by the school ministry for manufacturing and robotics.

I believe ours is PBS too? It rings a bell but ive never read the side of the package for the plastic in detail.

Jeez.

In Romania most schools barely have a room with computers (from like 2007).

*plot twist* Glass is actually liquid already.

Just a highly viscous liquid

I went to a store a few days ago and I saw a 3D printer for €1700 of course it wasn't an industrial one but still it was a 3D printer.

Lol, i have a 3d printet at home. Actually we are developing it. Costs under 1k$ and prints any plastics with melting point up to 260°C (not tested higher), dual extruders, 20x20x20cm print size.

If you like it, please PM me. I will tell you more details.

Glass from the 1800s was a highly viscous liquid due to the crappy manufacturing process and massive amounts of impurities.

 

Modern Glass is solid.

Not many people know that. You just need to go to an old building (some churches are a good example, and compare the thickness of the glass at the bottom to the glass at the top (for me its easy, the house I live in is old enough for the 'run down' to become noticeable).
