GlassLab

The GlassLab facilitates waterjet-cutting of complex glass shapes and observation of glass and other materials under the microscope. Researchers and students of the GlassLab and the ReStruct group have priority. TU Delft researchers and students can make use of the facilities upon agreement with the area supervisors. Use by external parties is possible upon consultation with the area supervisors, and is subject to a fee.

Waterjet Room

The Sanken CNC 5 Axis (60°) Water Jet Cutting Machine, located in the Waterjet room, can cut glass plates of up to 2700x2200mm size in various complex shapes, and can produce bevel cuts up to a 60 degree angle. See the video below for a demonstration:

Microscope Room

The Microscope room is equipped with a Keyence VHX-7000 digital microscope with 2 lenses of 20x-200x and 50x-500x magnification and polarizing filters. The microscope can be used for the observation of materials (100 mm x 100 mm stage) at up to 500x magnification, and can produce high resolution images with depth composition.
