…were similar in size to plastic filaments typically used with the printer. They then programmed the printer to create two complex shapes. “Our approach is very well suited for soft chalcogenide glass, but alternative approaches are also being explored to print other types of glass,” said Ledemi. “This could allow fabrication of components made of multiple materials. Glass could also…

…restricted this method to small plastic-based parts in limited quantity, better suited for prototyping than mass production. Recently, generative design has taken a big leap in maturity. With built-in manufacturing constraints, the newer generative design software programs recognize the limits of specific manufacturing methods and can eliminate impractical topological features beforehand. Now, seemingly at a crossroads, generative design is also…
