Glass.AM is engaged in overseeing the development of a Glass and Crystal 3D printer. Our current emphasis revolves around conducting tests, exploring techniques such as fusing and glassblowing, as well as prototyping with other materials, to envisage the diverse range of objects achievable through mixing this new technology with more traditional manufacturing techniques.

The products under development are tailored to cater the interests of various sectors. Industrial companies specializing in the production of small to medium series of decorative pieces, small ateliers focused on crafting individual and unique models, and educational and research institutions form the core audience for our glass and crystal 3D printing technology.

By aligning our efforts with the needs of these diverse stakeholders, we aim to empower industries, artisans, and educational entities with the transformative capabilities of our 3D printing technology, fostering innovation and creativity across the spectrum.
