3D Glass Printer??? - SolarSinter Project

Now it seems a bit crude, but think of the 3D potential – printing in glass.  Specially from the perspective of a digital sculptor.   I think is is way too cool!  We are just entering the teen year of 3D technologies, printers that print in food, plastic, wax, metal, tissue (medical uses) , and now glass.  The 3D industry is not going away; it has only just begun.  ~Cornell

In this experiment sunlight and sand are used as raw energy and material to produce glass objects using a 3D printing process, that combines natural energy and material with high-tech production technology.
