3D-bent, thermally tempered glass
sedak’s newly developed bending process enables multiaxial, free-form geometries entirely without the need for molds. This cost-efficient bending method allows radii below 500 mm and formats up to 8.5 × 3.6 × 1.2 m, with precise repeatability, consistently excellent optical quality, and high structural strength.
Game Changing
► 3D geometries in FTG / HSG: Multiaxially bent fully-toughened and heat-strengthened glass — including spherical, free-form, and parametric geometries — produced entirely without molds.
► Large formats, minimal radii: Highest precision with radii below 500 mm and formats up to 8.5 × 3.6 × 1.2 m.
► Maximum design freedom: The process enables new possibilities for organically curved shapes and parametric designs — expanding the boundaries of what architectural glass can achieve.
► Efficient & sustainable production: Optimized process times, economical workflows, and resource-efficient manufacturing support high-volume, industrial production with reduced environmental impact.
A precisely controlled, furnace-based process ensures high repeat accuracy. Each glass pane is bent with exact dimensional consistency and can be further processed without limitations—into laminated glass, insulating glass units, or complex façade assemblies.
Coatings and ceramic prints can be fully integrated, as bending can occur both concave and convex. This allows synclastic, anticlastic, and free-form geometries to be manufactured reliably and reproducibly.
Full-Scope Approach: The Data-Driven Path from Concept to 3D-Bent Glass
To ensure that complex geometries can be planned for feasibility already at the design stage, sedak combines production technology with a comprehensive feasibility analysis. Proprietary software evaluates geometry, radii, and stress zones, identifying optimization potential early in the design process.
► Validation of the 3D geometry
► Evaluation of panel sizes, bending radii, and geometries
► Optimization recommendations based on real process data
► Derivation of cost-effective implementation recommendations
sedak’s full-scope approach supports architects, consultants, and façade engineers enhance planning certainty, accelerate approval processes, and refine their designs both aesthetically and from a manufacturing perspective. This creates a reliable pathway from concept to finished glass: dimensions, tolerances, and bending parameters are precisely defined before production begins.
For Architecture That Sets New Standards
sedak multicurved was developed for demanding architectural applications—organic façades, free-form building envelopes, iconic landmarks, and complex interior structures. sedak multicurved redefines architectural glass. An advanced bending process combined with software-based feasibility analysis significantly expands the possibilities for multi-curved, tempered glass.
