Abstract

In this study, it was tried to determine the manufacturability of sandblasting stained glass and painting stained glass techniques, which are traditional architectural glass stained glass decorations, with computer-controlled laser technology and their advantages and disadvantages when used in glass furniture elements. 4 mm thick glass was used in the study. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) laser with 130 watt power output, carbon dioxide gas tube, 2 inch (50.8 mm) focal length lens equipment, water-cooled, 1.5 mm nozzle diameter and 10.6 µm wavelength laser light for processing the glass surface. machine was used. In the first stage, in order to determine the effect of laser power and laser speed on the processing of the glass surface, experiments were carried out on a glass test sample of 30%, 60% and 90% on a CNC laser machine by applying laser processing speed and laser processing power parameters at different rates. According to the findings obtained from the test results, the results obtained by applying laser engraving stained glass and laser painting stained glass to a furniture cover were compared. It has been concluded that stained glass processed at low laser power and high laser speeds can be used successfully in laser stained glass in furniture glass accessory parts. On the other hand, it has been concluded that painting stained glass can be applied to laser-treated glass surfaces, but this application does not contribute much to the aesthetics of furniture elements other than a more matte appearance compared to traditional stained glass. In line with these results, recommendations were made to industrial laser users, furniture manufacturers and designers.
