What the process holds
These features are produced by drilling or edge grinding. Capability: 0.1 – 0.5 mm chamfer legs both sides. Design rule worth copying onto the drawing: chamfers stop hole-edge chips from propagating.
DFM notes from the shop floor
Before sending the RFQ, check these against your drawing:
- Feature rule: chamfers stop hole-edge chips from propagating.
- 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 chamfered holes: aerospace optics (sensor windows, star-tracker flats, radiation-tolerant ports); laser systems (windows, beam splitters, debris shields); laboratory instruments (cuvettes, sight glasses, stir-cell windows).
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 precision glass drilling, laser glass cutting, high-temperature quartz windows.
Buyer questions, answered
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 chamfered holes?
Chamfers stop hole-edge chips from propagating.
Is there a minimum order for glass with chamfered 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.
