GlaCerHub Training Programme 2026 – EVENT 3: Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Processing of Glass and Ceramics

The GlaCerHub Training Programme continues with an  EVENT 3, taking place on 18–20 November 2026 at CEITEC BUT in Brno, Czech Republic.

This on-site three-day training event will bring together researchers, PhD students and experts from European academic and research institutions to share knowledge and recent developments in additive manufacturing and advanced processing of glass and ceramic materials.

The programme is organised into four thematic modules:

• Module 1 – Biological Properties of Additively Manufactured Ceramics and Glasses: Biomaterials, bioglasses, bioceramics and their biological evaluation.
• Module 2 – Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing: Direct ink writing, robocasting technologies and future developments in ceramic 3D printing.
• Module 3 – Vat Photopolymerisation Additive Manufacturing: Advanced printing technologies, optical applications and multimaterial ceramics.
• Module 4 – Glass and Ceramic Processing: Porous ceramics, advanced processing techniques, recycling and upcycling.

The programme will feature contributions from specialists representing CEITEC BUT, FunGlass, Masaryk University, FME BUT, AGH University of Kraków, the University of Padova, Ceraprint and IPM CAS.

Alongside expert presentations, the event will offer opportunities for discussions, knowledge exchange and networking, including a round-table discussion on the future of robocasting.
