Quartz, commonly referred to as Fused Silica, is a non-crystalline, high-purity form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) known for its exceptional thermal shock resistance, optical transparency, and chemical durability. We provide high-precision CNC machining of quartz components used in semiconductor, optics, laser, and high-temperature environments.
Fused Silica is a vitreous form of silica produced by melting high-purity sand or synthetic precursors. It combines the thermal stability of ceramics with the optical clarity of glass, making it ideal for UV to IR applications, and for harsh chemical or vacuum environments where purity and stability are critical.

Machining Capabilities for Quartz
Challenges & Solutions Quartz is harder and more brittle than standard glass, requiring diamond tooling and low-stress techniques for crack-free results. We offer:
Diamond Grinding & Polishing – For optical flats and precision faces
Ultrasonic-Assisted Machining – Reduces chipping in complex geometries
CNC Milling & Drilling – Achieves fine holes and slots with tight tolerance
Lapping & Edge Preparation – For safe handling and optical interfaces
Tolerances Achievable for Machined Quartz
Milling & Turning: ±0.02 mm
Grinding: ±0.005 mm
Applications of Quartz
