VIDEO: EVER WONDERED HOW A 3D CURVED GLASS IS MADE?

Meiigoo is launching a new and upcoming device, the Meiigoo S8. While it has yet to be released, it has been announced as on the way and one of the aspects that the Meiigoo S8 will feature is a 3D curved glass on the front and back of the device. Meiigoo has released a video which shows how the Meiigoo S8's curved display is made. 

The 3D curved glass is not a massively common feature on smartphones, due to the difficulty in consistently producing a curved glass. Meiigoo states that 3D curved glass has to go through more than 14 different processes before the final end product is reached. Some of those processes listed by Meiigoo include CNC-cutting, CNC-grinding, polishing, ultrasonic clean out, and precise polishing on the surface. As well as quality testing, chemical strengthening, the use of GDF technology, and the adding of a coating film. So it stands to reason that some manufacturers may choose to opt out of going through the ordeal of producing 3D curved glass panels if they do not need to. Another one of those processes is the use of heat-bending to help shape the glass. Which is exactly the process that this video from Meiigoo focuses on.
