Applications by Material

Sapphire (Al₂O₃)

Transparency · High Hardness · High Strength

We will introduce some examples of sapphire processing.
Sapphire transmits light, but is also very hard, scratch-resistant, and strong.In cases where the glass cannot be used due to scratches or insufficient strength, we process sapphire products.
