Capabilities
Heating Blocks
We produce our own heating system that can heat even the toughest of glasses
Extruding Systems
The input
Design and Print Path
Not all 3D Printing requires an 3D model file (eg STL), sometimes we use custom generated toolpaths
High Temperature Nozzles
Unique glass problems sometimes require unique nozzle designs.
Filament Input Glass Material
We produce filament as our input material allowing experimentation and even composites
Engineering
Let's talk technical! Our expertise spans mechanical, materials, and mechatronic engineering.
1. What are some of examples of Maple Glass Printing's custom solutions?
A: We have produced many custom solutions for various industries with a focus on research. Examples are:
-
A light weight extruder system capable of printing glass at 1000C and weighing less than 2kg
-
Custom heated block for optical fibre preform heating and fibre drawing​
