Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of processing glass, the method comprising selecting a precursor comprising a glass such as glass powder, glass particles or glass fibre, wherein said glass powder, glass particles or glass fibre has a plurality of glass properties; selecting a source of electromagnetic ("EM") radiation; wherein at least one of said glass properties is optimised for use with said EM source; and transforming said precursor into a glass product using said EM source. The properties and irradiation conditions are selected such that thermal stresses in the glass are controlled and cracking is limited. The process may be used in additive layer manufacturing to form glass components. The glass components may be of bioactive glass and may be biomedical implants.
