3D printing of multicolor luminescent glass.

ABSTRACT: The development of the stereolithography technique for the additive manufacturing of silica glass has brought revolutionary change in glass manufacturing. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of 3D luminescent transparent glass parts manufactured by the stereolithographic technique together with solution impregnation and high temperature sintering. Prefabricated glass parts with nanopores were prepared by the stereolithography technique and debinded and pre-sintered at first. To functionalize the additive manufactured glass with photoluminescence, Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Ce³⁺ ions were doped with a solution impregnation method and further sintered at high temperature. The photoluminescence from these rare earth ions in the blue, cyan and red spectral region can be f
