Isothermal precision glass molding


Isothermal molding, also known as precision glass molding, can be used to produce high-precision optics. In this process, the bulk glass (e.g. balls, gobs, wafers) is formed between two halves of the mold. The entire thermal cycle from heating to forming to annealing is completed in the mold. The components can then be removed according to their final shape with two high-precision functional surfaces.

We develop individual solutions for your application in the field of process engineering. Our process knowledge along the entire manufacturing chain helps us to design the optimal process.
