Handmade Glass
Traditional handmade glass production entails shaping and decorating hot and cold glass to produce hollow glass objects, flat glass and crown glass. It is characterised by the high degree of craftsmanship inherent to the work and by strong team values due to the need to respect the previous steps performed by other glassmakers. Most practitioners work in small or medium-sized glassworks or studios.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, such as stainless steel, mild steel and aluminium, resulting in a cut edge. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas,leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a dry powder to a surface and then cured under heat. The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional liquid coatings, which can be used on plastic, glass, or metal surface.
Welding
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, primarily by using high temperature to melt the parts together and allow them to cool, causing fusion.
Engraving
Glass engraving is a refining technique for creating very delicate decoration and ornamental patterns using grinding wheels and agents both bound and free.
GLASS FUSING
Glass of different colours and shapes is fused together in the furnace at a temperature of approximately 840 °C. It is possible to use various coloured glass powders, crystal chips, sticks or other semi-products that create required decoration through the process of fusing.
Custom Finishes
Finishing is the final process in the manufacturing of many metal parts. Finishing makes parts look good, but it also protects them from corrosion, extending their shelf life and reducing maintenance.
Eletroplating
Electroplating is the most commonly used process for metal surface treatment. It is a process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis, to improve wear resistance, conductivity, reflectivity, and enhance aesthetics.
Metal polishing
Metal polishing is a finishing method that uses an abrasive material to smooth surfaces. When polished, the surfaces of metallic objects are freed of defects and become more reflective and shiny, enhancing their appearance. Metal polishing can be complemented by buffing, a less harsh method that results in a brighter finish.
