We present a fluid-instability-based approach for digitally fabricating geometrically complex uniformly sized structures in molten glass. Formed by mathematically defined and physically characterized instability patterns, such structures are produced via the additive manufacturing of optically transparent glass, and result from the coiling of an extruded glass thread. We propose a minimal geometrical model-and a methodology-to reliably control the morphology of patterns, so that these building blocks can be assembled into larger structures with tailored functionally and optically tunable properties.This article is part of the themed issue 'Patterning through instabilities in complex media: theory and applications'.
我们提出了一种基于流体不稳定性的方法，用于在熔融玻璃中数字制造几何形状复杂且尺寸均匀的结构。这些结构由数学定义和物理表征的不稳定性模式形成，通过光学透明玻璃的增材制造产生，是由挤出的玻璃丝盘绕而成。我们提出了一个最小几何模型和一种方法，以可靠地控制图案的形态，从而使这些构建块能够组装成具有定制功能和光学可调特性的更大结构。本文是主题为“通过复杂介质中的不稳定性进行图案化：理论与应用”的特刊的一部分。
