Automotive glass designers and glass producers face continuing challenges. For designers, the challenge is to create vehicles that are lighter, more efficient, yet still distinctive. For producers, the challenge is to translate the designers' styles into distortion-free, cost-effective glass parts. 

While conducting glass-forming research, Glasstech, Inc. developed mathematical models that determine a design's transmitted and reflected optical quality, when installed at certain angles. Optical quality is strongly dependent on the forming process used and the design's complexity.
