Quartz Glass With Grooves: Quartz Glass (CTE 0.59 x 10^-6 /K, 260 nm – 2.5 um); depth from 0.2 mm, V, U or square section. Single-piece prototypes to production volumes, quoted from your drawing.
Buyers come to quartz glass with grooves with two kinds of parts: catalog-adjacent blanks that need accurate finishing, and genuinely custom geometry. We quote both from the same dataset – GE214-equivalent, semiconductor grade stock in 0.20 – 60 mm, blanks to 450 mm diameter.

Design guidance
The shop-floor rules that matter here:
- Material note: natural-quartz batches vary in metallic ppm, so semiconductor lots need certs per melt.
- Feature rule: depth under 50% of thickness preserves strength.
- 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.
Manufacturing capability
One material, many routes: on Quartz Glass we also quote ultrasonic machining, coring, etching, double-side polishing, and multi-step drawings are the norm rather than the exception.
These features are produced by cnc machining or ultrasonic machining. Capability: depth from 0.2 mm, V, U or square section. Design rule worth copying onto the drawing: depth under 50% of thickness preserves strength.
Application context
The recurring buyers of quartz glass with grooves: semiconductor equipment (view ports, wafer carriers, plasma rings, chamber windows); laboratory instruments (cuvettes, sight glasses, stir-cell windows). Background reading on the underlying material science: ScienceDirect: quartz glass.
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 CNC machining capability, ultra-thin quartz discs, high-purity quartz guide.
Buyer questions, answered
Is there a minimum order for quartz glass with grooves?
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.
What tolerances are achievable on Quartz Glass parts?
Ground features hold +/-0.01 mm and lapped thickness reaches +/-0.003 mm. Natural-quartz batches vary in metallic ppm, so semiconductor lots need certs per melt.
