Session 1: Challenges in glass manufacturing and recycling
The glass industry requires constant innovation to meet the needs for new compositions, new products, and sustainable manufacturing processes. Studies of natural silicates, such as magma and lava, can also provide useful insight. This session will cover the spectrum of new research, development, and engineering advances from the lab to the factory, including:
- Physics and chemistry of glass melting and forming via both modeling and experiments
- Energy efficiency strategies
- New furnace designs and process control methods
- Furnace materials—new materials, corrosion, and wear studies
- New concepts for melting and forming
- Post-forming treatments
- Challenges in recycling

Session 2: Additive manufacturing of glass
The session provides a forum for exchanging and discussing current issues and trends in additive manufacturing (AM) of glasses. The session will cover recent theoretical and experimental advances in the processing and characterization of 3D-printed glasses for biomedical, optical, architectural, functional, and artistic applications. The session will also provide a forum to a broader audience for emerging technological applications of 3D-printed glasses. All contributions from academia, national laboratories, and industries that address recent advances and new applications are welcome
