Capabilities and limits
These features are produced by cnc machining or laser cutting. Capability: notch width from 0.5 mm, positioned +/-0.05 mm. Design rule worth copying onto the drawing: radius every internal notch corner – sharp corners crack.
DFM notes from the shop floor
The shop-floor rules that matter here:
- Feature rule: radius every internal notch corner – sharp corners crack.
- 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
Orders for glass with edge notches cluster in machine vision (camera windows, ring-light diffusers, calibration plates); ccd inspection equipment (CCD cover plates, reference grids, stage glass); aerospace optics (sensor windows, star-tracker flats, radiation-tolerant ports).

Frequently asked 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 edge notches?
Radius every internal notch corner – sharp corners crack.
Is there a minimum order for glass with edge notches?
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.
