PRECISION GLASS 3D
3D Precision Glass Configurator Build a visual 3D preview for custom precision glass parts, including wafers, microfluidic chips, coated glass, optical filters, and machined quartz plates. This tool is for visual configuration only. Final dimensions, tolerances, materials, coatings, and manufacturability will be reviewed from your drawing or specification.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can I configure and request here?

Eleven precision-glass builders: glass wafers, microfluidic chips, optical filters, ITO/FTO conductive glass, perforated and special-shaped plates, AR optical and infrared windows, CCD optical plates, beam splitters, LED/OLED cover glass, glass-bottom microplates, and a made-to-drawing custom glass builder. You set the geometry and specifications, preview the part in 3D, and submit an RFQ.

Does the 3D preview reflect my exact dimensions?

Yes. Size, thickness, shape, holes, coatings and machined features update the model live. Specification-only values such as tolerances, surface quality and quantity are recorded in the RFQ summary rather than drawn.

Can I attach a drawing to my request?

Yes. The RFQ form accepts PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP/STP, IGES/IGS, PNG and JPG drawings. Archives and unrelated files are rejected. Your 3D configuration and specification summary are attached automatically.

Is pricing shown?

No. This tool produces an engineering specification and RFQ for review; pricing is quoted separately after the engineering team confirms manufacturability.

What this free glass drawing tool does

Precision glass is quoted from a drawing. Substrate, thickness, flatness, surface quality, coating band, edge treatment and hole positions all change the price and the lead time — and a fabricator cannot infer any of them from a sketch or an email. Most labs and startups that need one custom window or one drilled substrate do not have a CAD seat to produce that drawing.

This tool closes that gap. It runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to download, no license and no account. You get two builders that work together: a 3D model builder to settle the geometry and the substrate, and a 2D drawing builder that produces the drawing sheet a fabricator actually needs — dimensions, tolerances, surface quality notes and a title block — which you can export as a PDF or a DXF.

Nothing you draw is uploaded until you choose to submit it. The drawing lives in your own browser, so export it before you close the tab.

Inside the 2D engineering drawing builder

This is a real drafting environment, not a shape editor. It follows the drawing standards an optics or glass fabricator expects to read.

Dimensions that behave like real CAD

Linear, aligned, diameter, radius and angular dimensions, with prefixes, suffixes, value overrides and tolerances. Aligned dimensions follow slanted faces and chamfers at their true angle, and every placed dimension can be dragged and stretched without changing the measured value.

GD&T and surface specification

Feature control frames for all fourteen ASME Y14.5 characteristics, datum feature symbols and ISO 1302 surface texture symbols — the flatness, parallelism and perpendicularity callouts precision glass is actually specified with.

Proper sheets and title blocks

ISO A4 to A0 and ANSI A to D sheets, zone markers, first or third angle projection, a default tolerance stack, revision table, item table and numbered engineering notes.

CAD layers and line types

Visible, hidden, center, dimension, annotation, section, hatch and construction layers, each with its own line type, line weight, color and plot setting.

Snapping and typed coordinates

Endpoint, midpoint, center, quadrant, intersection and perpendicular snaps, inference guides on the axes and 45 degree steps, and a command line that accepts absolute, relative and polar coordinates.

Exports your supplier can use

A scaled PDF sheet for reading and printing, an SVG for the web, and a DXF that opens in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Zemax-adjacent tooling, FreeCAD or any other CAD package with layers and line types intact.

Glass products you can configure

Each product has its own 3D builder with the parameters that matter to it — substrate, thickness, coating, hole patterns, channel layouts. Pick one in the toolbar above.

Beam Splitter Glass
Configure plate beam splitters with split ratio, incidence angle, coating band, and polarization requirements. Live beam-path preview shows reflected and transmitted paths.
CCD Optical Glass Plate
Configure thin optical glass plates for CCD/CMOS screening machines with polish, coating, and cleanliness requirements.
ITO / FTO Conductive Glass
Configure ITO and FTO conductive coated glass substrates with coating area, pattern, and edge deletion.
Custom Glass
Configure any custom precision glass part not covered by the other builders: choose material, shape, size, thickness, optional holes and coating, then add notes or attach a drawing at RFQ.
Freeform Canvas (Draw Any Shape)
Start from a blank glass plate and shape it entirely with the Freeform Corner & Region Editor: draw, cut and place regions of any shape directly on the 3D model.
LED / OLED Cover Glass
Configure cover / packaging glass for LED and OLED modules with etched grooves, cavities, edge steps, and functional coatings.
Microfluidic Glass Chip
Configure custom glass microfluidic chips with channels, ports, chambers, and bonded layer structure.
Glass Bottom Microplate
Configure high content screening microplates with a glass bottom: plate format, well shape, cover glass thickness, and surface treatment. Live well-grid preview.
Optical Filter
Configure optical glass filters with shape, spectral parameters, coating side, and edge treatment.
AR Optical Window
Configure optical windows with material, geometry, AR coating band, surface quality, and flatness requirements.
Perforated / Special-Shaped Glass Plate
Configure machined glass plates with outer shape, holes, arrays, slots, grooves, and edge finish.
Glass Wafer
Configure round precision glass wafers with orientation features, holes, polished surfaces, and engineering notes.

How to build your drawing, step by step

About ten minutes end to end. If you would rather be shown, press Guide in the toolbar for a walkthrough you can skip at any point.

  1. Choose the glass product

    Select the type of component you need — an optical window, a wafer, a microfluidic chip, a coated substrate. Each one loads its own 3D model and asks only for the parameters that matter to it.

  2. Set the substrate and geometry

    Enter the dimensions, choose the glass type — fused silica, quartz, borosilicate, soda lime, sapphire — and add holes, chamfers, coatings or channels. The transparent preview updates as you type, so the picture is a sanity check on the numbers.

  3. Switch to the 2D drawing builder

    Press 2D DRAWING in the toolbar to open a full drafting sheet. The title block arrives pre-filled from the product and substrate you already picked.

  4. Draw and dimension the part

    Draw the outline with lines, arcs, circles, splines, chamfers and fillets, then dimension it. Aligned dimensions measure slanted faces at their true angle, and diameter and radius dimensions measure the full interval with a terminator at each end.

  5. Add tolerances, notes and the title block

    Add GD&T feature control frames, datum symbols, surface finish symbols and numbered engineering notes, then complete the title block with the drawing number, revision, scale and projection angle.

  6. Export the drawing or send it for a quote

    Download a correctly scaled PDF sheet or a DXF that opens in any CAD package, or submit the specification for a fabrication review and a quote.

Who this is for

  • Instrument repair and replacement. A window cracked or a substrate chipped, the original drawing is long gone, and you need a replacement made from the one in your hand.
  • Product designers and startups. You need a dimensioned drawing to get a real quote before committing to a full CAD model.
  • Researchers and lab engineers. One microfluidic chip, one coated window, one drilled wafer — with flatness and surface quality that actually matter and no time for CAD.
  • Buyers and procurement. Turn an internal request into a drawing a fabricator can quote from, so every supplier prices the same thing.
  • Students and makers. Learn how a drawing sheet is put together — dimensions, GD&T, title block — on something real, for free.
