Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and related equipment are provided, comprising: delivering a molten material into a forming and sizing assembly, processing the molten glass via the at least one pair of forming and sizing rollers to form a glass ribbon having a width and a thickness; imparting, at least one pinch region into the cross-sectional thickness of the glass ribbon to provide a pinched glass ribbon, rolling a pressure roller over the pinched glass ribbon on the sequentially spaced mold surfaces to impart a characteristic into the pinched glass ribbon to form a glass ribbon product.

Abstract: Various aspects of methods and systems are provided, which detail: a method, comprising: depositing a hot, flexible glass-containing ribbon along a plurality of sequentially conveyed molds; rolling a pinch roller over the surface of the glass-containing ribbon, such that at least one pinch region is actuated in the glass ribbon as the glass ribbon is pinched between a pinch edge of the pinch roller and the surface of the mold; and cooling the glass ribbon, separating the glass ribbon along the pinch region into discrete glass parts.

Abstract: A glass article manufacturing system 20 includes a crucible 44. The crucible 44 includes a barrel 52 and a nozzle 60. The barrel receives a feedstock. A translational stage 92 is positioned below the nozzle of the crucible. The translational stage is movable. A heater 72 is in thermal communication with the nozzle such that thermal energy provided by the heater is transferred to the feedstock. A feeder assembly 32 is positioned proximate the barrel of the crucible such that the feeder assembly feeds the feedstock into the barrel. The translational stage may provide negative pressure to retain a build plate to the translational stage. A preformed component may be positioned on the translational stage.

Abstract: A glass article manufacturing system (10) includes a crucible (38) that defines a barrel (46) and a nozzle (54). The barrel (46) accepts a glass feedstock (62). A heater 66 is in thermal communication with the nozzle (54). The heater 66 heats the feedstock (62) within the nozzle (54). An actuator (22) is positioned proximate the barrel (46) and extrudes the feedstock (62) through the nozzle (54) as extruded feedstock.
