Custom Glassware Manufacturers: Crafting Excellence in Glass Products

Cambridge is a globally acknowledged centre of excellence in scientific research. Since its foundation in 1977, Cambridge Glassblowing has been serving this community and providing a trusted partner for many ground-breaking innovations. As one of UK’s top custom glassware manufacturers, we have also had to push the boundaries of what is possible to achieve to meet the demand of these innovations. It is now itself an internationally renowned organisation, delivering its services to science across the entire UK, Europe and beyond.

Scientific glassblowing: art, craft or engineering?

Many consider the skill of the scientific glassblower to be an art form or craft and it’s true that it requires many years of dedication and practice to become proficient. However, we prefer to think of it as an engineering discipline. Drawings, tolerances, precision tools and jigs all closely resemble the environment of a precision engineering workshop, as does the inspection process, SOPs and change controls.

If you need a precision glass instrument then you need to work with a manufacturer that thinks like an engineer, not one who wants to be an artist.

Working with Cambridge Glassblowing for your custom glass project

Scientific glassblowing has been key to scientific research for hundreds of years. In the same way science has moved on, scientific laboratory glassware manufacturing has advanced similarly. Advances in glass such as the invention of borosilicate has meant that over time glassware within science has remained an indispensable part of the modern laboratory.

We continue to advance our skills, capabilities and services to meet the ever changing needs of the scientific community.
