Glass With Precision Holes – position +/-0.02 mm, diameter from 0.15 mm. No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.
glass with precision holes – manufactured to drawing with documented tolerances, from single prototypes to production.
Specification envelope
| Feature | Precision Holes |
|---|---|
| Capability | position +/-0.02 mm, diameter from 0.15 mm |
| RFQ inputs | PDF/DXF/STEP drawing, quantity brackets, surface and edge spec |
Process window
These features are produced by drilling or laser cutting. Capability: position +/-0.02 mm, diameter from 0.15 mm. Design rule worth copying onto the drawing: keep hole-to-edge distance above 1.5x thickness.
Specification advice
Three items decide most of the cost and lead time on this work:
- Feature rule: keep hole-to-edge distance above 1.5x thickness.
- Over-specification is the quiet budget killer: a 20/10 scratch-dig face costs roughly three times an 80/50 face, so grade each surface individually.
For the complete framework, see the tolerance design guide and the holes and edges design guide.
Typical applications
Orders for glass with precision holes cluster in industrial displays (touch covers, gauge windows, printed bezels); ccd inspection equipment (CCD cover plates, reference grids, stage glass); oled packaging (cover lids, frit-seal frames, fill-port plates).
The fastest route to a quote is geometry: use the 3D builder below, draw a dimensioned 2D drawing from it, or open the site-wide custom glass machining 3D + 2D builder for fully custom parts.
Engineers scoping this work usually also review optical glass options, microfluidic glass applications, AR coating process.
Common questions
Do parts ship with inspection data?
Dimensional reports, surface certificates and material certs per melt are available; specify the level on the RFQ.
What is the design rule for precision holes?
Keep hole-to-edge distance above 1.5x thickness.
Is there a minimum order for glass with precision holes?
No. Single prototypes are accepted, and pricing steps down at 10, 100 and 1,000 pieces.
How fast can prototypes ship?
Machined prototypes ship in 5 – 10 working days. Coated or bonded parts add 1 – 2 weeks depending on queue slots.
What files do you need for a quote?
A dimensioned PDF plus DXF or STEP geometry. If only a sketch exists, our drawing review service formalizes it before quoting.
