Machining services are critical when working with scientific glassware and parts. That is because scientific glassblowing is a specialized field that requires high precision, skill, and creativity. It involves the use of various techniques and tools to shape, join, and modify glass materials for scientific and industrial applications.
We also use scientific glass in medicine, aerospace, communications, and technology as well as many other areas of our lives. Some examples of scientific glassware and parts are laboratory equipment, vacuum tubes, optical fibers, lasers, and sensors.
Features of Our Machining Services
To produce such complex and intricate glassware and parts, a scientific glassblowing company needs to have a full in-house machine shop that can handle diverse types of materials and processes. A machine shop is a facility where machines and tools are used to cut, drill, mill, turn, or weld metal, plastic, composite, or glass parts.
Additional machining services should include operations such as those offered here at Precision Glassblowing. For example, laser cutting, etching, and drilling as well as CNC machining and ultrasonic milling. We have more than 30 + lathes (small F to 11″ bore). Precision Glassblowing also offers diamond cutting, sandblasting, centerless grinding, semi-automated coiling, optical polishing, vacuum sealing and silvering, and gas filling.
Benefits of Our Machining Services
Having an in-house machine shop offers many benefits for a scientific glassblowing company. It allows the company to have more control over the quality, cost, and delivery of its products.
A scientific glassblowing company with an in-house machine shop can provide a wide range of services and products for various industries and sectors. For example, it can produce glass components or accessories for medical devices, aerospace systems, environmental monitoring, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and more.
Innovative, Collaborative, and Creative
In addition, the machine shop enables our clients to customize their products according to specific needs and specifications. Moreover, it enhances our ability to experiment with you on innovative designs, materials, and techniques.
Using these capabilities, we can repair or refurbish existing glassware or equipment. Furthermore, we can collaborate with other researchers or manufacturers to develop novel solutions or applications using fresh glass technologies.
