Abstract

See full text

An integrated system for selecting, ordering and manufacturing art glass panels is provided. An artistic art glass design is combined with a set of design rules specifically applicable to such art glass design to produce a digitized data file uniquely identifying the art glass design. The digitized data file information is used to reconfigure the initial art glass design, according to the entered set of design rules, to conform the art glass design to the unique panel size and shape requirements of a customer. A data file of the reconfigured art glass panel information is forwarded to the manufacturer. The digitized reconfigured file data includes all of the information regarding component sizes, shapes and cutting and assembly instructions required to enable automated assembly and costing for the art glass panel fabrication. Remote input terminals are provided for customers, enabling customized customer design and selection of art glass panels at remote locations, on-line visual review of the customized panels and their calculated costs, and direct ordering from the remote terminals.
