Additive Manufacturing of Glass - From Science to Applications
First Edition, September 20, 2024 Editors: Bastian E. Rapp, Frederik Kotz-Helmer
Additive Manufacturing of Glass: From Science to Applications is
a joint effort by the global glass 3D printing community, highlighting
the current state of the art, its various applications, as well as its
game-changing potential for a wide array of industries in the coming
decades. The book starts with separate overviews of glass and additive
manufacturing, gradually tying the two together to discuss topics such
as melt-derived additive manufacturing of glass, sol-gel chemistry,
direct ink deposition techniques, etching-based glass structuring, and
slurry-based glass 3D printing. The book then concludes with various
case studies and applications for 3D-printed glass, highlighting
individual companies producing it and product applications such as
bioactive glasses and micro-optics.
