Étape 1 : design
• Supply of plans, drawings or 3D renderings
• Explanation of the product’s end use
• Definition of requirements: mechanical strength, thermal resistance, transmission specifications, dimensional requirements, quality requirements, etc.
• Project timeline (short, medium or long-term)
• Target price
Étape 2 : material definition
• Selection of the type of glass: Borosilicate glass, soda-lime glass, quartz, glass-ceramic, optical glass, etc.
• Selection of any treatments to be applied to the design prototype glass (anti-reflection, anti-scratch, UV protection, etc.)
Étape 3 : production launch
• Selection of a manufacturing technique (manual, semi-automated, automated)
• Hot work (blowing, lathe work, glass/metal fusing, flame polishing, etc.)
• Cold work (cutting, marking, gluing, etc.)
• Pricing of the tools and design work = > a first quote with a delivery schedule is issued
• Modification of parameters, if needed
• Validation
• Creation of one or more prototypes
• Modification of parameters, if needed
• Launch in small, medium or large series
• Quality and conformity control
Organisation of the various process steps, reporting and collaboration
Our team will advise you on which glass is best-suited for your needs, in line with your requirements.
Through our partnerships with accredited laboratories, Verresatine can also provide:
pressure resistance certificates, temperature resistance certificates, dimensional surveys, etc.
