How does viscosity affect printing?
As glass makers, we often describe glass as short or long. When we blow glass we can feel this: how long does it take to stop moving? How often do I have to reheat it? As a glass blower we always use a tool to manipulate the glass. The printer has become one of those tools for me. Albeit one with very steady hands. In Pascal * Second I’ve changed the temperature and therefore the viscosity of the glass and printed the same object each time. We can then see the effect of this higher temperature and lower viscosity on how the object takes shape.
