Glass mold innovation through collaborative research

Jorgensen, Tavs; Matthias, Gayle

Abstract

Collaborations between practitioners with different skills and knowledge bases can be a great driver for innovation. Over the last 4 years we have been working together to combine our knowledge bases to develop a new approach in making glass casting molds. This process we have established means that molds can be created directly from 3D computer files without the need for a physical pattern - a process that potentially offers significant advantages compared with conventional glass molding techniques.
