Glass-Art
A Unique Software Developed Especially for the
Design
and Production of Stained Glass
The production of
stained glass windows has been revolutionized by the introduction of Glass-Art software.
Hand-cutting and sizing that has taken hours or days in the past now is computerized for
paper patterns, sandblast and acid etching masks.
Whether hand drawn, xeroxed from pattern books, or designed with computer programs like
CorelDraw, GLASS-ART allows designs to be scanned, edited, mirrored and sized to exact
window measurements with any appropriate lead line relief. In addition, users have control
over piece color assignment, color separation, and material conservation planning.
Interesting elements can be accumulated and stored in "graphic libraries." These
images can then be retrieved later to create new one-of -a -kind windows using repeated
and or compounded elements. Scaled color renditions may be produced for customer
presentations and full scale numbered placement maps make assembly a quick and painless
process.
Production time for glass etching and sandblasting has been greatly reduced thanks to
Glass-Arts unique ability to cut smooth lines on masking material. Hand cutting of
masks is no longer required yet the user retains the quality and integrity of hand cut
craftsmanship.
Regardless of the level of computer expertise, this easy to learn program
allows the user to be confident in a short time that he or she is in control. Conserve
materials, ensure consistency, and reduce tedious hours of labor.
Glass-Art does it all!
