The article focuses on the recent progress in 3D printing of glass, comparing different printing methods and analyzing their advantages and disadvantages for manufacturing functional glass objects. It also discusses the technological principles and applications of 3D printed glass objects, concluding with a summary of current achievements and future perspectives for the development of 3D glass printing technique.
Additive manufacturing (AM), which is also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, uses computer-aided design to build objects layer by layer. Here, we focus on the recent progress in the development of techniques for 3D printing of glass, an important optoelectronic material, including fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering/melting, stereolithography (SLA) and direct ink writing. We compare these 3D printing methods and analyze their benefits and problems for the manufacturing of functional glass objects. In addition, we discuss the technological principles of 3D glass printing and applications of 3D printed glass objects. This review is finalized by a summary of the current achievements and perspectives for the future development of the 3D glass printing technique.
