1. Overview of hot-melt glass

Hot-melt glass, also known as crystal three-dimensional art glass or lost-wax glass, is a unique product of glass thermal processing technology. It has emerged in the decoration industry due to its unique decorative effects and excellent durability. Hot-melt glass can transcend existing glass forms, fully utilizing the artistic ideas of designers and processors, integrating modern or classical artistic forms into glass, and creating various artistic effects with different colors and textures from flat glass.

2. Production process

Preparation of materials:

Glass materials: Select glass sheets and powdered glass of different colors and textures, cut and splice them according to design requirements.

Molds: Used to shape hot-melt glass, the shape and texture will determine the appearance of the final product.

Heating equipment: Such as kilns, used to heat glass materials to high temperatures.

Heating the glass:

Place the glass materials in the heating equipment and heat them to about 700-800℃. This is a key step in the production of hot-melt glass, and temperature control is crucial; even a slight deviation can change the color and texture effects.

Mold shaping:

When the glass materials reach high temperatures, pour them into the mold. During the melting process, different colored glass blocks will penetrate each other, forming unique textures and colors.

Cooling and shaping:

Cool and shape the glass materials in the mold. This is the "annealing" process, where the temperature is gradually lowered to ensure the glass does not easily break.

Subsequent processing:

Polish and smooth the edges of the finished product to achieve a crystal-clear overall effect.
