Glass Laser Additive Manufacturing
Carnot ICÉEL Institute —Carnot preparing the future

A new additive manufacturing technology based on laser-matter interaction can be used for 3D printing of objects made directly from glass without any additives. Different sectors such as microfluidics, connectors or biomedical devices will be able to benefit from made-to-measure glass prototypes, with a composition adapted to their needs. A patent was filed by Cerfav-Université de Lorraine in September 2020, and a Sayens maturation project is in progress.
