PATTERN DESIGN GUIDE

Check whether a pattern is buildable

A fast review for closed pieces, safer cuts, clear assembly, and structurally sensible lines.

01

Confirm every piece

Every intended glass piece needs one closed boundary. Remove duplicate lines, tiny accidental regions, and ambiguous intersections.

02

Review the cuts

Flag sharp inside corners, deep curves, narrow necks, and shapes trapped between neighboring pieces.

03

Think about assembly

Plan how pieces, came, borders, and reinforcement come together. A beautiful line should still support an achievable build sequence.

04

Print and inspect at scale

Review a full-size copy before cutting glass. Check labels, dimensions, border allowances, orientation, and whether small pieces remain practical at real scale.
