A method of manufacturing a glass molded product includes the steps of preparing a lower die including a lower die surface and a space forming surface formed to extend downward away from an outer edge end portion of the lower die surface with the outer edge end portion being defined as a starting point, preparing an outer frame including an annularly formed inner circumferential surface, arranging the lower die on an inner side of the outer frame, dropping a prescribed amount of molten glass droplet onto the lower die surface such that a surface of the molten glass droplet connects the outer edge end portion and a portion of the inner circumferential surface located above a position of the outer edge end portion to each other and the molten glass droplet does not wet-spread over the space forming surface, and pressurizing and molding the molten glass droplet.

A forming apparatus for cleanly forming front glass for a portable terminal includes an upper mold 10 including an upper mold body 12 of a specific thickness and a protruded portion 14 protruded from the bottom surface of the upper mold body and a lower mold 20 including a lower mold body 22 of a specific thickness and a concave portion 24 concavely formed in the top surface of the lower mold body in such a way as to correspond to the protruded portion. Curved surface forming portions 16 and 26 are formed in the edge portion of the protruded portion 14 of the upper mold and the edge portion of the concave portion of the lower mold. The curved surface forming portions 16 and 26 are formed into line contact portions 16a and 26a coming into line contact with the end portions of the top and bottom surfaces of the glass, respectively.

The invention relates to a method for producing a glass stopper with a head portion for sealing bottles, more particularly bottles for wine and sparkling wine, wherein an upper mold and a lower mold are provided.

Various embodiments provide a mold including a pyrolytic carbon film disposed at a surface of the mold. Various embodiments relate to using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition process (LPCVD) or using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process in order to form a pyrolytic carbon film at a surface of a mold.

The present disclosure provides an improved production method for optical elements. In this case, it is desirable to achieve high contour accuracy and/or surface quality for optical elements or lenses or headlight lens. In addition, it is desirable to reduce the costs of a production process for objective lenses and/or headlights, microprojectors or vehicle headlights.

Systems and methods for texturing substrates (e.g., glass, metal, and the like) and the textured substrates produced using such systems and methods are disclosed. An exemplary system for texturing a substrate includes a first roller and a second roller. The first roller has a first textured surface. The first textured surface has a root mean square roughness between 40 to 1000 microns and an autocorrelation function greater than 0.5 for distances less than 50 microns.

A mold for molding a glass product is provided. The mold includes a lower mold and an upper mold. The lower mold includes a lower pressing surface. The upper mold includes an upper pressing surface. The upper pressing surface includes a plurality of upper molding surfaces and an upper mold closing surface connecting the plurality of upper molding surfaces. The lower pressing surface includes a plurality of lower molding surfaces and a lower mold closing surface for connecting the plurality of lower molding surfaces. The upper mold closing surface and/or the lower mold closing surface include at least two mold closing regions sequentially arranged from center to outside. The at least two mold closing regions have surface roughnesses increasing from center to outside. The disclosure achieves the technical effect of even filling, synchronous demoulding, and reduced error between mold cavities.
