New Delhi: Keeping up with the popular trends, Corning has announced that it will manufacture a 3D glass-forming technology to shape Corning Gorilla Glass. The company is targeting commercialisation of finished 3D-shaped Gorilla Glass parts in 2014 and is working with G-Tech Optoelectronics Corp. (GTOC) to establish a vertically integrated operation in Taiwan.
Product design continues to drive the consumer electronics industry. More than half of the top 10 smartphone manufacturers already market devices that incorporate cover glass with subtle curves, and the demand for even more-dramatic form factors is increasing.
Corning's 3D-forming technology meets this demand and expands the design possibilities for industrial designers. "We can now take Gorilla Glass all the way from flat sheet to a finished 3D-shaped product in Asia, expediting turnaround times and minimising logistical complexity," said James R Steiner, senior vice president and general manager, Corning Specialty Materials.

Corning's 3D-forming technology uses Gorilla Glass of uniform thickness, assisting designers to introduce thinner and lighter devices.
Corning's 3D-forming technology uses Gorilla Glass of uniform thickness, assisting designers to introduce thinner and lighter devices and leverage the emergence of conformable displays for mobile and wearable applications.
