So the website is pretty crappy at giving a simple summary. Nature's video is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBMB4FNoYz4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?

TL;DW: they sell glass powder that's mixed with a polymer binder. You can buy it as a liquid or solid. It can be cut/machined as a solid, cast or 3d printed as a liquid, and there's versions that set from liquid to solid with UV exposure. Final processing in a kiln burns away the binder and melds the glass powder together, forming the final object.
- colordrops 6y agoThey also have the ugliest logo.
- skykooler 6y agoI suspect that the glass powder will quickly wear through machining tools and 3d printer nozzles. So I'm not sold on this actually being economical.
- ericb 6y agoNozzles are fairly cheap.
- lucioperca 6y agoDiamond coated tools are not that expensive either.
