Presenting a new opaque glass-based material for 3D printing: GS ONE

A new opaque glass-based material is a unique material created at Kwambio.

The turnover for objects 3D printed in this material is 5 days or even less, because there’s no need for firing and glazing. Instead, objects have to be painted. Spray paint actually protects objects, they become even more durable.

Currently, we offer 12 colors to choose from and even more are coming soon!

Objects have a unique rough texture. When you touch such an object, it’s somewhat sandy but it’s definitely a pleasant feeling.

These steampunk figurines were the most intriguing objects we’ve presented this year at the CES in Las Vegas, and they surely attracted a lot of attention!

This material is perfect for products with intricate shapes, the ones you can never do in ceramics. We don’t recommend it for objects that are considered to be for food consumption. Choose it for home decor objects: candle holders, desk organizers and pen holders, piggy banks, planters, refrigerator magnets, art objects and vases for dry flowers.

Its shrinkage is zero, so this material is perfect for those objects where exact dimensions are critical.

As we don’t apply any glaze, 3D printed objects in this material are highly detailed. If you want to 3D print a figurine of an animal or a mask, this material is what you need.

Glass-based objects are not waterproof by default but we can apply a special waterproof layer on-demand.

Hand-polished objects can be used for slip casting, to make molds.

Recommendations: care with love. It’s durable but can be damaged by water. Do not expose objects near open fire or heat.

If needed, clean the object using a soft brush. When transporting, cover it in layers with bubble wrap cushioning.
