Glass 3D printing holds a great deal of potential, not just for creating intricate home decor and lighting solutions or even to manufacture bespoke specs, though those are certainly on the table. 3D printing glass could render new methods for making fiber optic cables that are exponentially more efficient at transmitting light, and, therefore, data. And, while extruder manufacturer Micron3DP has been experimenting with the technology, Neri Oxman’s Mediated Matter Group at MIT has just unveiled a fully-fledged glass printing platform, dubbed G3DP, according to architecture site ArchDaily.…
