Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Crystal glass product forming workers are skilled professionals who melt high-purity glass raw materials and shape crystal glass tableware, ornaments, etc., using molds or manual techniques. They manage temperature and perform quality inspections to maintain product transparency and shape precision.
Description
Crystal glass product forming workers shape molten glass from high-temperature furnaces into products using press molding or glass blowing techniques. The work requires strict control of temperature and time, followed by annealing or toughening processes to impart strength. After forming, they conduct appearance inspections and dimensional measurements to ensure products meet quality standards before shipment. They also handle maintenance and inspection of molds and jigs, safety and health management, and suggestions for process improvements.
Future Outlook
While skilled workers are in demand in the niche market for high-end crystal glass products, domestic production lines are shrinking due to automation and overseas production. Acquiring value-added skills such as design and proposal capabilities or advanced finishing processes is important for career development.
