Stereolithography-based 3D printing of silica without organic binders

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a stereolithography (SLA)-based 3D printing process for silica glass that operates entirely without organic binders. The study, published on ScienceDirect, demonstrates the fabrication of centimeter-scale mesoporous silica structures through photo-induced sol-gel reactions, using only inorganic precursors and low-cost digital light processing (DLP) equipment. The process eliminates […]
