US Patent 5570292

22. Integrated method and apparatus for selecting,
ordering and manufacturing art glass panels
US Patent 5570292
Abstract 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.
