Why Choose Istar Machining for Glass CNC Cutting?

1. Unmatched Precision

Our CNC machining service delivers glass edges that are perfectly straight and smooth. This means:

Glass pieces that fit together perfectly
Edges ready for laminating or mounting
No dangerous sharp edges
Exact dimensions every time

2. Works With All Glass Types

We can cut virtually any type of glass:

Tempered glass for safety and strength
Laminated glass for security applications
Borosilicate glass for heat resistance
Low-iron glass for perfect clarity
UV-bonded glass for seamless connections
Tinted glass for privacy and sun protection

3. Advanced Cutting Techniques

Our glass CNC cutting uses three main methods:

Waterjet cutting: Uses high-pressure water mixed with abrasives to cut through glass with no heat damage
CNC routing: Uses diamond bits to shape and cut glass with smooth edges
Laser cutting: Creates precise designs and patterns with minimal waste

4. From Simple to Complex

Whether you need a basic rectangular piece or a complex curved design, our 5-axis machining can handle it all. We can create:

Intricate cutouts and patterns
Curved and rounded edges
Holes and notches in exact positions
Multi-level designs and 3D effects

Benefits of CNC Glass Cutting vs. Traditional Methods

Feature	CNC Cutting	Traditional Cutting
Precision	±0.1mm tolerance	Varies with human skill
Complex Shapes	Any design possible	Limited to straight cuts
Edge Quality	Perfectly smooth	Often requires additional finishing
Consistency	Identical pieces every time	May vary between pieces
Material Waste	Minimal with smart nesting	Often higher waste
Production Speed	Fast, automated process	Slower, manual process
Cutout Ability	Internal cutouts simple	Difficult or impossible

Best Practices for Glass CNC Cutting

Design Tips

Keep internal corners with at least 3mm radius
Allow minimum 10mm between holes or cutouts
For tempered glass, holes should be at least 2x glass thickness from edge
Specify critical dimensions clearly in your design files

Material Selection Guidelines

Tempered glass: Use for safety in areas where breaks could occur
Laminated glass: Best for security and UV protection
Low-iron glass: Choose for maximum clarity and true colors
Borosilicate: Ideal for heat resistance applications

Why Istar Machining Stands Out

Zero-Waste Policy: Our nesting software minimizes material waste
Certified Safety: All edges are polished to eliminate dangerous microfractures
Transparent Pricing: No hidden costs, with quotes based on actual dimensions and complexity
Expert Consultation: Our team helps optimize your designs for manufacturing
Complete Solution: From cutting to finishing, all under one roof
