Custom Glass Plates With Holes – Holes 0.15 – 100 mm in plates to 40 mm thick. No minimum order; DFM review included with every RFQ.
We build custom glass plates with holes to print – Holes 0.15 – 100 mm in plates to 40 mm thick – primarily in fused silica, Borofloat 33, quartz and soda-lime. Typical use: mounting plates, feedthroughs and manifolds.
Specification envelope
| Geometry | Glass Plates With Holes |
|---|---|
| Size envelope | Holes 0.15 – 100 mm in plates to 40 mm thick |
| Key tolerance | position +/-0.02 mm |
| RFQ inputs | PDF/DXF/STEP drawing, quantity brackets, surface and edge spec |
Capabilities and limits
Production route: drilling, coring, laser cutting – selected per geometry and volume. Edge condition: optional chamfered hole entry.
Design guidance
Before sending the RFQ, check these against your drawing:
- Hold the controlling dimension (position +/-0.02 mm) and let secondary dimensions carry standard tolerance – it is the single biggest cost lever.
- 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.
Who orders this
custom glass plates with holes shows up across laboratory instruments (cuvettes, sight glasses, stir-cell windows); medical diagnostics (flow cells, slides, microplate bottoms, cuvette windows); industrial displays (touch covers, gauge windows, printed bezels).
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 high-temperature quartz windows, ultra-thin glass materials, high-purity quartz guide.
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 sizes are available for glass plates with holes?
Holes 0.15 – 100 mm in plates to 40 mm thick, held to position +/-0.02 mm.
Is there a minimum order for custom glass plates with 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.
