Title: MIT Researchers Solve Temperature Problem in 3D Printing Glass; End of Glass Blowers?

Are custom glass blowers next in line to be replaced by robots?

The problem has always been in working with temperatures at close to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. However, MIT researchers have solved the problem.

Please consider Scientists Develop New High-Temperature System to 3D Print Transparent Glass.

MIT researchers have for the first time developed a new high-temperature system that can produce 3D printed transparent glass objects.

Researchers have attempted to 3D print glass objects in the past, but a major obstacle has been the extremely high temperature needed to melt the material.

The high-temperature system developed by the team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) retains the strength and transparency of glass.

The new system was developed by Neri Oxman, an associate professor at the MIT Media Lab; Peter Houk, director of the MIT Glass Lab; MIT researchers John Klein and Michael Stern; and six others.

Like other 3D printers now on the market, the device can print designs created in a computer-assisted design programme, producing a finished product with little human intervention.

One challenge the researchers faced was keeping the filament of glass hot enough so the next layer of the structure would adhere to it, but not so hot that the structure would collapse into a shapeless lump.

They ended up producing three separate components that can independently be heated to the required temperatures - the upper reservoir for the stock of molten glass, the nozzle at the bottom of that chamber, and a lower chamber where the printed object is built up.

"Glass is inherently a very difficult material to work with," Klein said.

The new process could allow unprecedented control over the glass shapes that can be produced, Oxman said.

"We can design and print components with variable thicknesses and complex inner features -- unlike glassblowing, where the inner features reflect the outer shape," Oxman said.

If so, that is very good. Anything that reduces the number of workers is good because that frees up those workers to do other work.

The elite is talking about eliminating jobs so they can be free to exterminate us by the tens of millions.

I've. Always agreed with that sentiment. Their will always be more work... someone is gonna have to fix the robots when they break down. People have to sell the repair man his parts, and on and on the cycle goes. Let us free ourselves from the work we can so that we might focus more on the work thats really important.

At least up until now, that's always been true because there are things that average humans can do that machines and robotics cannot. That may not always be true. As I understand, our brain has 100 trillion connections and computer may have 100 million transistors. Assuming a connection is equivalent to a transistor the human brain is one million times more complex than a computer. However, if Moore's holds then in 40 years a computer should have the equivalent of 100 trillion transistors and have the intelligence and complexity of a human brain.

Robotics should advance with computers meaning a robot might do what humans are able to do. And, if the cost is not too high, robots might replace the average human worker. Then maybe most humans will just have sex and be entertained.
