The Austria-based company Lithoz and Glassomer, a producer of glass-based materials, introduce 'LithaGlass,' a new quartz glass-based slurry for 3D printing applications. 'LithaGlass' accommodates a market demand for FSG printing materials that can be used in increasing large production runs of end-use parts. FSG is commonly used for semiconductor packaging, IC components, themselves, and fiber optics. With 'LithaGlass,' users can take advantage of its versatile applications in 3D printing, VR hardware, and more spaces.
“Our transparent high-purity glass solutions offer enormous potential for many applications, especially for high-stability optical and technical parts. With Lithoz we have a powerful partner to make our glasses available for high-precision 3D printing — which will significantly advance science and technology," said Dr. Frederick Kotz-Helmer, chief sales officer (CSO) of Glassomer.
