Investigation of the usability of three-dimensional printers in glass product design
Keywords:
Glass, Three-dimensional printer, Glass product design, Glass forming techniquesAbstract
Glass, is a very difficult and costly material to shape. Especially glass shaped by hand using traditional methods can be challenging in the creation of some forms, which can limit the glass shaper in terms of design and application. However, it is obvious that three-dimensional glass printers, which have been researched and tested recently, will offer an alternative shaping method for those working in the field of glass in the future. As a result, there is a need for this research in order to analyze the stage of research and studies in the field of glass and to give direction to the development. This research aims to assess the usability of 3D printers in glass product design, considering evolving application methods. Data on 3D printers and their diversity were collected through observation, document analysis, academic sources, and studies. The technology’s pros and cons were examined through product production processes and results of private companies experimenting with it. Findings show that while glass objects produced with 3D printers are still in prototype stages, they offer potential for easier production of complex forms compared to traditional methods, promising advancements in glass design.
