The properties of glass (e.g., transparency, chemical and thermal inertness) are advantageous for optical, microfluidic, and chemical applications. Additive manufacturing allows the creation of complex geometries and novel functionalities. In contrast to metals and polymers, there are limited options for digitally creating transparent glass geometries. Glass becomes viscous when heated above its transition temperature. This allows a bubble-free forming but requires precise thermal management. Previously explored studies established the deposition of multiple types of glasses using fiber and rod feedstocks. A significant challenge is the speed of the process. Phonon modes in all of these glasses directly absorb CO2-laser radiation (λ = 10.6 μm) with an optical penetration depth of
