Abstract

Due to a relatively low melting point and good formability of Na2O-SiO2-TiO2 with B2O3 (NS-TB), a glass was selected suitably applied on 3D printing (3DP) technique. As a result, a melt-extrusion (ME) module was designed and assembled to print layers of NS-TB glass directly. The ME module consisted of heating and thermal insulation devices, could reach 1100 oC at the nozzle by supplying 130 W power so to extrude glass filaments. Thermal insulation of the module was excellent, which was 51 oC outside the module while the nozzle was in operation. The extrusion of the glass and the property of capillary viscosity will be reported.
