Scribe-and-break Cutting Services
Scribe-and-break is a separation method that involves dry-cutting without any water source. This increases overall processing speed and can have a significant impact on the surface material. This popular conventional method helps to cut materials like glass and other substrates. The process involves forming a crack in the glass substrate through a cutting line, otherwise known as a “scribe line.” From there, the crack breaks further to create separate plates to work with.
Our CNC scribe-and-break process requires a small processing width. The scribe line, as mentioned above, can only be a few micrometres. The work remains pristine, as chipping is nearly impossible at the cut edge with the technology used. For curve cutting and linear processing, the scribe-and-break method is excellent. When it comes to more complex shapes, we recommend other processes such as laser glass cutting.
