Artist Pia Hinz flips this idea on its head as she explores the conceptual and material relationship between strength and ...

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 ...

At this Lancaster, Ohio museum, molten glass transforms into art through live demos, classes, and fascinating history.

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 ...

Glass, forged by fire, is increasingly becoming a hot topic in fashion—think Coperni’s latest Swipe bags and Pat McGrath’s “glass skin” on the couture runways. Now, in Copenhagen, Annika Zobel Agerled ...

FARGO — There's good reasoning behind Handle With Care warnings on glass objects. Strong enough to use as a windshield, yet breakable as an egg, glass is both elemental and ornamental. Firm and ...

Producing glass objects using 3D printing is not easy. Only a few groups of researchers around the world have attempted to produce glass using additive methods. Some have made objects by printing ...
