Knowledge base

Describe the application, structural requirements, and operating conditions — Octoglass engineers will help identify the right direction. TODO: expand with the approved process.

Typical inputs include dimensions, application type, special requirements, and volume. The exact list depends on the product and project.

Yes. Octoglass performs R&D and adapts solutions to customer technical requirements.

Sample availability is discussed for the specific product and task. TODO: confirm the procedure.

Manuals, the configuration app, and license agreements for Octopus KDS automotive controllers are in the Technical documentation section on this page — Russian and English files where both exist. Certificates, declarations, and patents are in Certificates and patents on the About page. For catalogs and project packs on glazing, contact sales@octoglass.ru.

Describe the vehicle and requirements — the Octoglass team will process the request. In the future, such inquiries will be routed to dealers.

DXF/DWG are preferred. You can also send a PDF drawing or sketch in any graphic format for preliminary evaluation - digital geometry is usually needed for production.

It is possible, but additional processing of non-standard data and converting them into drawings will require the inclusion of additional services in the order.

We use roller cutting with diamond or carbide rollers, in some cases, crystal cutting can be used. The cutting tool makes a "scratch" on the glass, which then breaks the glass.

For cutting, a computerized machine and a laser positioning system of the cutting head are used in relation to the workpiece. The operator's involvement in the direct glass cutting process is excluded. However, due to the physical size of the cutting tools, the precision of the cut is of the order of 1 mm.

Yes. Cutting can be a separate service or the first stage of a complete route at the Octoglass site. However, we warn you that glass without edge treatment (grinding or polishing) contains stress zones after breaking along the cutting line and may spontaneously collapse, for example, during transportation. Additionally, it should be borne in mind that in the process of breaking glass along the cutting line, cracks and small chips may remain on the glass, which it is also desirable to remove by processing the edge.

Transparent and reflective surfaces need a case-by-case review: surface prep and capture method depend on the part. Send photos and the goal — we will advise whether scanning is feasible.

Typically the object itself, photos, approximate size, and a clear goal: 1:1 reproduction, adaptation, or mold/tooling prep.
