CNC machining - a sheet with a socket cut-out and a hole on the machine table

CNC GLASS MACHINING

CNC machining is the milling and grinding of glass on a computer-controlled machine, according to a technical drawing. It makes shapes possible that cannot be achieved by ordinary cutting: arcs, rounded corners, cut-outs for sockets and fittings, irregularly shaped holes.

Because the machine works from a file, every element in a series is identical. This matters for furniture, doors and built-ins, where a dozen or more sheets must fit each other and the fittings without adjustments on site.

WHAT WE MAKE ON CNC

Non-rectangular shapes, rounded corners, internal and edge cut-outs, holes for hinges and handles, cut-outs for electrical sockets in kitchen splashbacks, and edge grinding of elements with complex outlines.

FROM DRAWING TO FINISHED ELEMENT

It is best to send a drawing in DXF format or a PDF with dimensions. After CNC machining, the element can go on to tempering, laminating or painting - we plan the sequence so that all holes and cut-outs are made before tempering.

Frequently asked questions

  1. In what format should I send the drawing?

    DXF is most convenient, but we also accept a PDF with dimensions or an accurate sketch. It is important that it shows the outer dimensions, the position of cut-outs and holes, and the glass thickness.

  2. Is CNC machining worth it for a single element?

    Yes, if the element has a shape that cannot be achieved by ordinary cutting and grinding. For simple rectangles, cutting and edge grinding are enough.

  3. Can glass be tempered after CNC machining?

    Yes, and that is the usual practice. We make all cut-outs and holes before tempering, because tempered glass can no longer be processed.
