🔬 Excited to share groundbreaking developments in 3D printing for soft glass optical fibers!
🚀 Our latest article, "Revolutionizing Glass 3D Printing for Microstructured Optical Fibers," introduces a modified fused deposition modeling method that's a game-changer in the field.
The Syglass team has published the results of applied research developed in the LTG 3D technology (Low Temperature Glass 3D Printing) in a high-impact journal. I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Ryszard Buczynski team (Przemysław Gołębiewski, Jarosław Cimek, Paweł Socha, Dariusz Pysz, Adam Filipkowski, Grzegorz Stępniewski, Ireneusz Kujawa, Rafał Kasztelanic) as well as to Olga Czerwińska, PhD and Pawel Wienclaw from Sygnis SA, for their contribution to advancing knowledge in photonics. I have the honor of being one of the authors of this publication too.
Key highlights include the establishment of a low-temperature glass 3D printing method with pressure-controlled glass flow, reducing and stabilizing the printed glass line diameter. Horizontal printing for large volume structures, especially preforms of air-glass microstructured optical fibers, opens new avenues. Notably, our method replaces time-consuming manual optical fiber preform assembly in the stack-and-draw technique. We've successfully developed and tested a proof-of-concept microstructured optical fiber with three rings of air holes in the cladding, showcasing the immense potential of this innovative approach.
This is another milestone on the road to significant commercialization of this technology.
