3D Printing is rapidly changing the field of craft.

The Maple 3 Glass 3D Printer allows you to reform glass into a digital design.

Turn you studio glass waste into innovative pieces now. 

Glass Art Society - GAS 2023

See the first glass 3D printing and glass blowing fusion! 
This was a piece created in Detroit in the 2023 Glass Art Society (GAS) event. 

Australian National University (ANU)

“Glass blowing is a craft which is really amazing, but it takes years and decades to master. I think this might be a tool to bring in more people who may not be all that interested in those more complicated, traditional methods.”

Dr Jeffrey Sarmiento - Head of Glass at ANU

Using The Maple 3 and Vitri-Glass to recycle glass from their glass studio, the team at ANU use the equipment for art education and research purposes.

Fusion of Methods

Create entirely new forms that are "unmakable" in glass any other way. The piece shown is 3D printed and has been used above as the stem of the goblet. The design of the stem was provided online by Triple G Workshop and typically printed in plastic, not glass!
