Most three-dimensional glass objects are produced via either a molding, blowing or 3D-printing process. Chinese scientists, however, have devised a technique of folding such items into shape – and it ...

Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

DILLON, Mont. — Students at the University of Montana Western in Dillon are learning the intricacies of creating glass objects to be used as artistic pieces or useful tools. UM Western is the only ...

ETH researchers used a 3D printing process to produce complex and highly porous glass objects. The basis for this is a special resin that can be cured with UV light. Producing glass objects using 3D ...

Moments after molten glass slips through a vitrigraph kiln and auto coils into form, it’s merged with a glass-blown object made at the opposite end of the RIT glass program’s hot shop. RIT glass ...
