Additive Manufacturing of Glass: From Science to Applications

by Bastian E. Rapp (Editor), Frederik Kotz-Helmer (Editor)

Overview

Additive Manufacturing of Glass: From Science to Applications is a joint effort by the global glass 3D printing community, highlighting the current state of the art, its various applications, as well as its game-changing potential for a wide array of industries in the coming decades. The book starts with separate overviews of glass and additive manufacturing, gradually tying the two together to discuss topics such as melt-derived additive manufacturing of glass, sol-gel chemistry, direct ink deposition techniques, etching-based glass structuring, and slurry-based glass 3D printing. The book then concludes with various case studies and applications for 3D-printed glass, highlighting individual companies producing it and product applications such as bioactive glasses and micro-optics. - Outlines various techniques for additive manufacturing of glass - Includes case studies and applications, highlighting real-world use and commercial opportunities - Covers melt-derived, sol-gel chemistry, photochemical, multiphoton-based etching, and various other additive manufacturing techniques for producing glass

About the Author

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bastian E. Rapp is a full professor of process technology at the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) and the head of the NeptunLab, University of Freiburg, Germany. For his work, he was awarded, among others, the Edison Prize of the General Electric (GE) Foundation, the GMM award, and the Südwestmetall-Förderpreis. In 2019, he received an ERC Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for his work on tactile displays for the visually impaired. His work has been published in the most important international journals, including Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie, Nature, and Science, and has been featured in national and international radio and print media, including the BBC, The New York Times, and the Discovery Channel. In 2021, he was nominated by the German Minister of Research and Education, Anja Karliczek, for the German Future Award of the German President for Technology and Innovation. In 2022, he was nominated for the German Future Award of the German President for Technology and Innovation with his spin-off company Glassomer for the development of a new generation of techniques for high-resolution structuring of glass. His research focuses on the development of novel materials, processes, and applications in microsystem engineering, life sciences, and biotechnology, as well as instrumental and clinical analytics.
Dr. Frederik Kotz-Helmer is currently Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of the company Glassomer (Freiburg, Germany), which commercialized high-resolution 3D printing and injection molding of glasses. His work has been published in the most important journals, such as Nature, Science, and Advanced Materials. His research interests are in nanocomposites, glasses, and ceramics.
