    Recently, MIT Media Lab has created 3DGP technology in collaboration with the school's mechanical engineering department, glass lab, and Harvard University's Wess Lab, which can be used to make more affordable optical fibers
    .

    This technology uses clear glass instead of plastic as a guide material
    .
    The method, known as 3DGP, works in much the same way
    as traditional 3D printing.
    Researchers have found that precise control of the thickness of the print makes it possible to customize the transmittance, reflectivity, and refractive index
    of light.
    The glass printing system uses two hot cells stacked on top of each other, with the upper chamber reaching 1900 degrees Fahrenheit and the lower chamber responsible for cooling and annealing
    the molded structure.
    3DGP technology can be used in the future to make cheaper and better fiber optic products
