Hey guys does anyone have any info regarding chop top door glass? Every company I speak to says either you can’t cut tempered glass, or they don’t have the tooling, etc. Any suggestions? |

' Do you have any hard data ? ' ~ Charleton Heston as Spencer Trilby in ' True Lies ' Reverse Engineering Surface Geometry - Fiero Panels, Glass.
Geometric normals of a compound surface defined mathematically. Consider how a router would cut a windshield profile if it could, the base of the machine resting on the surface, the cutter square to the top of the windshield. Like that, but with a large waterjet, 5+-axis to move the machine through the data points in a 3D curve. Somewhere out there, are the proprietary computer files used to make the molds and dies to design and build the Fiero, way back in the '70 - 80s, ancient, but still valid, data files. A treasure trove of data, describing the Fiero as a mathematical construct. A ' Mission Impossible ' scene, a ninja scaling the building to hack the archives, or perhaps the city dump outside Detroit, the hard drives resting there since 1989, so sad. Ancient Data. ' We have the technology '
