Manufacturing capability
These features are produced by cnc machining or grinding. Capability: step depth +/-0.02 mm, concentric or linear. Design rule worth copying onto the drawing: steps let windows seat without adhesive in the aperture.
DFM notes from the shop floor
The shop-floor rules that matter here:
- Feature rule: steps let windows seat without adhesive in the aperture.
- 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.
The full rules live in our tolerance design guide and holes and edges design guide.
Application context
The recurring buyers of glass with stepped profiles: mems devices (cap wafers, TGV substrates, motion-sensor lids); aerospace optics (sensor windows, star-tracker flats, radiation-tolerant ports); oled packaging (cover lids, frit-seal frames, fill-port plates).

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 stepped profiles?
Steps let windows seat without adhesive in the aperture.
Is there a minimum order for glass with stepped profiles?
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.
