Curved bent glass is attractive. It has various shapes and wide applications.

In finishing bent glass, the glass pane is placed on a shaped mould, and then putted into an electric or gas heating furnace to heat the glass to reach softening temperature (580~620℃). After softening, the glass pane is bent by gravity along the mould. After bending, stop heating, and make the glass cool down to eliminate distortion caused by heating.
Both heating and cooling time is ten minutes, and is gradual. Thus, the products are free of twist or residual stress, and the curved face can be cut.
