A method of forming an optical component includes depositing slurry that includes glass powder material onto a facesheet and fusing the glass powder material to a facesheet to form a first core material layer on the facesheet. The method also includes successively fusing glass powder material in a plurality of additional core material layers to build a core material structure on the facesheet. The method can include selectively depositing slurry including glass powder material over only a portion of at least one of the facesheet, the first core material layer, and/or the one of the additional core material layers. Depositing the slurry can include extruding the slurry from an extruder.

Additive manufacture of optical components

A method includes placing a first part proximate a second part, disposing a sintering material in contact with both the first part and the second part, and applying energy to the sintering material to join the first part and the second part. An apparatus includes a first part, a second part, and an additively manufactured joint comprising a sintering material that joins the first part and the second part.
