Drawing-defined feasibility
Final feasibility is reviewed against grade, supplied stock, dimensions, thickness, holes, cutouts, edges, surfaces, quantity and inspection criteria.
How the Glass Type and Product Form Fit Together
The assigned technical records separate published material or application guidance from the dimensions and acceptance criteria that remain drawing-specific.

|---|---|
| Material definition | Display Glass describes a function rather than one universal composition. State the actual glass grade or operating temperature, pressure, chemical, optical or sealing duty in the RFQ. |
| Product-form definition | Holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii, chamfers, bores and optical faces |
| Typical materials | Borosilicate, fused silica/quartz, optical glass, aluminosilicate, soda-lime, glass-ceramic or sapphire after material review |
| Application duty | Provide a durable, optically clear and accurately registered cover over display and touch functions. |
| Inspection basis | Drawing-based dimensional, visual, microscopic, surface and optical inspection |

Geometry, Surface and Inspection Requirements
Product-family data is a planning reference. The drawing must identify the exact shape, critical zones and measurable acceptance limits.
| Product requirement | What to define |
|---|---|
| Geometry and available forms | Holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii, chamfers, bores and optical faces |
| Dimensions and thickness | State outer dimensions, thickness, diameters, lengths, OD/ID and datum scheme as applicable. |
| Holes, cutouts and features | Dimension holes, slots, cutouts, steps, grooves, radii and their edge distances. |
| Edge and surface zones | Seamed, ground, polished, beveled, chamfered or radiused |
| Inspection | Drawing-based dimensional, visual, microscopic, surface and optical inspection |
| Packaging and handling | State cleanliness, protective film, separators, individual packing and shipping requirements. |
| Manufacturing route item | Review requirement |
|---|---|
| Supplied stock | State sheet, plate, tube, rod, disc, wafer, blank or preform condition. |
| Compatible route | Cutting, CNC/ultrasonic/waterjet/laser machining, drilling, grinding, lapping, polishing, cleaning and inspection as required |
| High-risk geometry | Edge fracture, touch sensitivity loss, print misregistration, glare, scratches and delamination. |
| Drawing release | For Display Glass Custom Glass Component, define datums, critical features, edge and surface zones, quantity, inspection and packaging before releasing the route. |
Inspection Focus for Custom Display Glass Custom Glass Component
Acceptance should connect every critical drawing characteristic to an instrument, fixture condition and stated limit.
| Review item | Project-specific focus |
|---|---|
| Product design risk | Unmachinable corners, insufficient edge distance, thin walls, mixed tolerance systems and inspection mismatch |
| Product inspection | Drawing-based dimensional, visual, microscopic, surface and optical inspection |
| Application failure modes | Edge fracture, touch sensitivity loss, print misregistration, glare, scratches and delamination. |
| Application inspection | Cosmetic inspection, dimensions/flatness, transmission/haze, print registration, touch and impact testing. |
| Acceptance method | Flatness Measurement: Compare calibrated result with the drawing, purchase order or approved test specification |
| Feature-to-edge damage | For Custom Display Glass Custom Glass Component, inspect chips, microcracks, breakouts and edge damage around processed features and adjacent walls. |
