Automating Glass Deposition with a Glass 3D Printer

Updated: Dec 3

We can deposit glass into assemblies to create metal to glass seals for various industrial manufactures. 


Glass is notoriously challenging to work with! Factors like high temperatures, annealing processes, coefficients of expansion (COE), temperature gradients, and precise cool-down schedules require meticulous attention during fabrication.


But what if it could be easier?


With The Maple 4, we’ve redefined glassworking by overcoming these obstacles through cutting-edge technology. Our system offers:


  1. High precision

  2. Automation

  3. Temperature control

  4. Repeatability

  5. A stress-relieving environment (thanks to built-in annealing capabilities)

  6. Material flexibility (using our Vitri-Glass system; you can create your own glass input material)


This means unparalleled control over glass, enabling much more than 3D printing alone. Ready to see what’s possible? Now you have control over the glass, and so can do a lot more than just 3D print.


Hermetic seals, glass to metal seals and other types of glass to material bonding is possible, all with very precise temperature control.

Additionally, with our Vitri-Glass, you can experiment with a wide range of glass compositions or even create your own. This flexibility empowers researchers to explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of glass technology.


Industries and Projects

Our advanced glass deposition capabilities are perfect for those in specialty glass assembly manufacturing, sensors and research fields. Whether you're developing innovative glass products or conducting cutting-edge research, The Maple 4 offers the precision and control you need to achieve outstanding results.


We invite you to bring your most challenging projects to us.
