This article (http://www.gizmag.com/3-d-glass-printing-method-developed/12963/) talks about a new development in 3D printing, now we can print in glass.

"Prof. Ganter, co-director of the Solheim Lab, pointed out that this method could also find a way to recycle used glass as a low-cost material that can make 3-D printing affordable to an even broader community of artists and designers around the world.
