Can high-precision glass structures be 3D printed? A material science research report published in the British "Nature" magazine stated that German scientists used standard 3D printing technology to create ultra-complex, high-precision and high-quality glass shapes, such as tiny twisted crackers or castles. This means that 3D printing technology can now be used to produce structures with higher optical performance, which can be applied to a large number of complex lenses and filters. [ 295 more words ]
