The Mediated Matter Group and Glass Lab at MIT have developed an additive manufacturing platform called G3DP designed to print optically transparent glass. The tunability of the system to manipulate geometrical and optical variations allows for control over transparency, color, and light transmission, reflection, and refraction. The two-chamber platform heats the material to 1900°F and funnels it through a scanning alumina-zircon-silica nozzle.
