Podcast: What Engineers Often Overlook About Glass Materials
Exploring the overlooked potential of borosilicate and glass ceramics in demanding applications.
In this final episode of our four-part series with SCHOTT, we explore the lesser-known capabilities of glass materials and why they deserve a closer look from engineers. Tina Gallo and Zach Wimmer return to share how SCHOTT collaborates with engineers across industries, guiding material selection and innovation at every stage. Learn more at schott.com.
