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.
