  • Enabling the Production of Aspheric Glass Lenses with Diffractive Structures K
    Proceedings of the 11th euspen International Conference – Como – May 2011 Enabling the Production of Aspheric Glass Lenses with Diffractive Structures K. Georgiadis1,2, B. Bulla1, D. Hollstegge1, O. Dambon1, F. Klocke1,2 1Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology, Germany 2Fraunhofer Project Center for Coatings in Manufacturing, Germany [email protected] Abstract The demand for complex-shaped optical components is rising rapidly, driven by their significant advantages over traditional optics. A great example are lenses that combine aspherical surfaces and diffraction gratings. These can eliminate spherical as well as chromatic aberrations in imaging optics and can therefore replace multi-lens optical systems. Although glass aspheric lenses or lenses with diffraction gratings can be manufactured by various production technologies, the production of glass lenses that combine both was not possible until now. In this paper, the development of a production method of such lenses using precision glass moulding is presented. 1 Introduction Precision glass moulding is a replicative technology, where a glass blank is heated and isothermally pressed to the desired shape between ultra-precision moulds. After the moulding process, no further processing is necessary [1]. Usually, binderless cemented tungsten carbide is precision ground to form the moulding tools, which are then coated with noble metal coatings in order to reduce the chemical interactions with the glass and increase their lifetime [2-3]. In order to manufacture diffractive structures on an aspheric surface, diamond turning must be used, since only this technology enables the production of the very fine and sharp structures required. The problem is that not all materials can be diamond turned.

    PRECISION AIR ENTRAPMENT THROUGH APPLIED DIGITAL AND KILN TECHNOLOGIES: A NEW TECHNIQUE IN GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell PhD 2015 1 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell 2015 Abstract The motivation for the research was to expand on the creative possibilities of air bubbles in glass, through the application of digital and kiln technologies to formulate and control complex air entrapment, for new configurations in glass art. In comparison to glassblowing, air entrapment in kiln forming glass practice is under-developed and undocumented. This investigation has devised new, replicable techniques to position and manipulate air in kiln-formed glass, termed collectively as Kiln-controlled Precision Air Entrapment. As a result of the inquiry, complex assemblages of text and figurative imagery have been produced that allow the articulation of expressive ideas using air voids, which were not previously possible. The research establishes several new innovations for air-entrapment in glass, as well as forming a technical hypotheses and a practice-based methodology. The research focuses primarily on float glass and the application of CNC abrasive waterjet cutting technology; incorporating computer aided design and fabrication alongside more conventional glass-forming methods. The 3-axis CNC abrasive waterjet cutting process offers accuracy of cut and complexity of form and scale, across a flat plane of sheet glass.

Matthews worked at the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company from 1875 until its closing in 1888. The photograph was taken c. 1880. From the Collections of the Sandwich Glass Museum. SANDWICH REDUX he traditions of glassmaking have changed little over the centuries. During the 19th century, the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company was one of the largest producers of glassware Tin the world. The functional wares that the factory produced were innovative for their time. Today, new innovations in glassmaking are tested in small studios where hot glass is used as a medium for artists to produce new works of creative endeavor. This year, 2012, marks the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the Contemporary Studio Glass Movement. In 1962 ceramics professor Harvey Littleton and chemist Dominick Labino began an experiment to produce hot glass in a studio setting as opposed to the traditional factory. Their success led the way for many of today’s glass artists, many of whom Littleton went on to teach and train. In honor of this event the Sandwich Glass Museum invited glassmakers of national and international fame to look to the past, to draw inspiration from the glassware produced in Sandwich during the 19th and early 20th centuries and to create a new work for the 21st century.

  • Glass Fabrication
    RESOURCE + PROCESS MANAGEMENT Glass fabrication Rima Ajlouni The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT ABSTRACT: In architecture, the prevalence of computational design and digital fabrication has led to an increase in exploration of casting modulated geometry using fabricated molds. However, the use of mold making strategies are often limited to casting materials that conform easily to mold geometry (i.e. concrete, plaster, resin, ceramics, etc.). It is rarely that fabrication strategies are used to explore materials with challenging behavioral properties such as glass. As a result, glass in its non-flat form has been underutilized in contemporary architecture. Because of its complicated physical behavior and the technical difficulties associated with the fabrication processes, architecture education often avoids exploring such medium. One key challenge with casting glass using fabricated refractory molds relates to understanding the behavior of glass under certain physical conditions and temperature profiles. If such parameters are not anticipated, the geometry of the final casted elements can be substantially different from the design intentions. This research argues that computation can be used to predict glass forming behavior under different temperature profiles, which can inform the design and fabrication processes. The goal is to highlight the importance of integrating the complexities of the physical reality into the design and fabrication processes, especially within the context of the educational experience. To contribute to this creative discourse this paper explores the limits of precision from computation to fabrication as it relates to casting glass. The objective is to design and test an algorithm for predicting edge/corner geometry of casted glass under different temperature profiles.

  • Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation
    Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation Thesis by Amir Monfared A Thesis in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia August 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Monfared First name: Amir Other name/s: ;. Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Mechanical and Manufacturing Faculty: Engineering Title: Thermoplastic Forming of Metallic Glass: Die Selection, Microforming and Property Characterisation Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Metallic glass (MG) is a promising class of materials with exceptional properties. Due to non-equilibrium amorphous structure, manufacturing of these alloys is challenging and might lead to structural and properties changes. Thermoplastic forming (TPF) is an efficient manufacturing technique of MGs. However, there are still many challenges (e.g. MG/die adhesion) and ambiguities such as the effect of TPF on apparent viscosity, mechanical property and structure which should be resolved. Accordingly, this thesis aims to examine TPF of MGs and improve the manufacturing of these alloys. The following lists the major findings of this thesis: 1) The dies with lower surface free energy (SFE) and higher bonding dissociation energy showed the least adhesion with MGs. Chemical adhesion and diffusionwere recognized as the primary adhesion mechanisms. New models were developed and verified for the evaluation of SFE of MGs and the work of adhesion between MGs and dies. 2) Apparent viscosity investigations revealed that at lower temperatures the apparent viscosity increased throughout the tests.
