High-Silica Content Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Resin for Two-Photon and Single-Photon Glass 3D Printing

Caption

The new organic-inorganic hybrid resin allows laser 3D printed structures to be converted into transparent silica glass at lower temperatures than conventional methods (650-700°C) and with significantly reduced shrinkage (36±1%), making glass 3D printing possible not only by expensive two-photon lithography but also by standard single-photon stereolithography.
