Project description
Printing breakthrough for glass fabrication
Traditional glass manufacturing struggles with low resolution and exorbitant costs for intricate designs. Complex structures are either challenging to achieve or financially impractical. In this context, the EIC-funded NOBULA project introduces the Nobula 3D printer. Featuring groundbreaking Direct Glass Laser Deposition (DGLD™) technology, this innovation allows direct 3D printing of glass from a glass filament, revolutionising the industry by enabling cost-efficient production of highly customised, intricate glass parts with unparalleled speed and precision. NOBULA’s printers require no additional infrastructure. Collaborating with academic institutions and engaging with industry giants, NOBULA is ushering in a new era of limitless possibilities in glass fabrication.
Objective
Traditional glass fabrication produces medium to large sized parts, typically with low resolution and simple geometry. Moving towards higher resolution and more complex structures becomes increasingly more challenging and expensive or is simply inaccessible.
Nobula3D printer, with its unique and patent-pending Direct Glass Laser Deposition (DGLD™) technology, is the first commercial system that can directly 3D print glass from a glass filament without the need of post-processing. It enables cost-efficient printing of highly customized and complex glass parts with short lead-time. The printers require no infrastructure, offering unique possibilities to transform glass fabrication in ways not possible today.
We generated initial market traction as we have offered prototyping services to academic institutions (e.g. Lund University, KTH) and we have ongoing discussions with interested industrial players (e.g. Scientific-Lab Glass, Schott, Yokogawa, Heraeus, Saint-Gobain, Luxottica).
