A startup called Vitriform3D has developed an innovative 3D printing process that makes use of the abundance of post-consumer glass. In collaboration with experts from Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL’s) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), the fledgling firm is already making high-value products from waste glass material that may have ended up in a landfill.
