New Laser-Based VAM Approach can Quickly 3D-Print Microscopic Objects in Silica Glass
Versatile and ubiquitous, glass is increasingly found in specialized applications such as fiber optics, consumer electronics and microfluidics for "lab-on-a-chip" devices. However, traditional glassmaking techniques can be costly and slow, and 3D-printing glass often results in rough textures, making them unsuitable for smooth lenses.
