MIT's process accomplishes this by using two chambers, one that acts as a kiln
cartridge (working at 1,900 degrees Fahrenheit), and another that works to melt the
structures together. The molten glass is distributed through an alumina-zircon-silica
nozzle (shown in the video, above) that pours the material out like soft serve ice cream.
The G3DP process was developed by a team including the MIT Media Lab's Mediated
Matter group, the MIT Glass Lab, the Wyss Institute and MIT's Mechanical Engineering
Department.
