Especially for the surface patterning of borosilicate- and quartz-glass, Hilgenberg implemented a laser-based process, that bring 2D-stuctures to the surface of glass substrates in pane-, tube- and rod-pattern. Thereby finest structures can be created. Among other things the process serve to achieve marks, scales and reference points on glass. Furthermore letterings and logos can be implemented and 2D-Barcodes can be made.
