Scientist has a technique that allows a new type of glass material to create objects using a 3-D printer. Three-dimensional printers are cheap, fast way to build prototype parts. In a typical powder-based 3-D printing system, a thin layer of powder is spread over a platform and software directs an inkjet printer to deposit droplets of binder solution only where needed. The binder reacts with the powder to bind the particles together and create a 3-D object. By adjusting the ratio of powder to liquid the team found a way to build solid parts out of powdered glass, the Vitraglyphic process.
