The "top" is getting even better. Czech research institutes (like COMTES FHT) are developing —using 3D printed sand molds to create tube geometries previously impossible with centrifugal methods. Furthermore, the integration of Industry 4.0 (real-time viscosity monitoring during pour) ensures that the "Czech tube casting top" will remain the benchmark for the next decade.
This process involves melting glass at temperatures around 1440°C and forming it in steel or cast-iron molds. This technique was famously modernized by the artist duo Libenský–Brychtová czech tube casting top
Czech-cast tubes and "top" components are vital to infrastructure across Europe and beyond: The "top" is getting even better
