Flat glass is boring. All the fanciest Android phones sport curved glass displays. Not to be left out of the display-warping ways, Apple has patented its own glass-bending process. Apple's patent ...
A new technique makes it possible to bend sheet glass into complex or unconventional shapes with the help of laser beams. This opens up a whole new range of potential products for architects and ...
Researchers take advantage of glass property of becoming malleable when exposed to high temperatures. Bend it: prototype sheet glass with tiny radii, produced by laser-based forming. A new laser-based ...
The ability to bend sheets of glass into angular corners without damaging the sheet or impairing the optical properties is attractive in architecture, industrial design and medical technology.
Computer scientists develop a design tool that opens up the use of a cost-efficient technology for curved glass panels. The tool is based on a deep neural network and allows for the free-form design ...
