Design guidance
The shop-floor rules that matter here:
- Channel cross-sections are process-specific: etched channels are lens-shaped, machined ones rectangular with corner radii. State which your CFD model assumed.
- 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
Orders for laser machined microfluidic glass cluster in led packaging (groove covers, phosphor carriers, package windows); industrial displays (touch covers, gauge windows, printed bezels); medical diagnostics (flow cells, slides, microplate bottoms, cuvette 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 ITO coating process, optical polishing capability, fused silica wafers 2-12 inch.
Buyer questions, answered
Is there a minimum order for laser machined microfluidic glass?
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.
Do parts ship with inspection data?
Dimensional reports, surface certificates and material certs per melt are available; specify the level on the RFQ.
