According to one or more embodiments described herein, a three-dimensional laminate glass article may be manufactured by a process which may include heating a glass stack including at least two glass sheets that are unbonded with one another at a first temperature range, fusing the first glass sheet with the second glass sheet by heating the glass stack at a second temperature range, and shaping the glass stack. The first temperature range may be from about 150 C. to about 400 C. for a first period of time of at least about 5 minutes. The second temperature range may be from about 400 C. to about 1200 C.

A method for severing a glass sheet includes preferentially heating a region of the glass sheet to form a softened region. A slit is formed in the softened region of the glass sheet to form a slit region. The slit extends at least partially into a thickness of the glass sheet. Heat is preferentially applied to the slit region of the glass sheet.

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a processed member including removing a first uplift portion from a plate member containing the first uplift portion and a support portion connecting to the first uplift portion, in which the plate member includes a first main surface and a second main surface, the first uplift portion is a projection portion in the first main surface and a portion in the second main surface, corresponding to the projection portion is a recess portion, and the first uplift portion has a line shape in a top view.

Methods of fabricating formed glass articles are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a formed glass article may include forming a glass ribbon, forming a parison, and shaping the parison to form a glass article. The glass article may be attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region defining an edge of the glass article. The process may also include contacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam and separating the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region. The attachment region may be perforated by the laser beam and the focal line may be substantially perpendicular to the plane of the glass ribbon.

Methods of fabricating formed glass articles are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a formed glass article may include forming a glass ribbon, forming a parson, and shaping the parson to form a glass article. The glass article may be attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region defining an edge of the glass article. The process may also include contacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam and separating the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region.
