Title: Kurt Nattermann: Innovator in Glass Technology

Introduction

Kurt Nattermann is a distinguished inventor known for his significant contributions to the field of glass technology. Based in Ockenheim, Germany, he holds a remarkable portfolio of 18 patents that showcase his innovative approach to material science.

Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, Nattermann has developed methods and devices for introducing separation lines into transparent brittle fracturing materials. This method involves using a pulsed laser beam that is split into two partial beams, which are then directed onto a workpiece. The beams interfere with one another to create a sequence of intensity maxima, leading to a chain-like periodic pattern of material modifications that define a separation line. Another notable patent is for a method of producing long-term bendable glass material. This process includes bending glass within a specific radius, storing it for a designated time, and inspecting it for damage to classify it as either a reject or a long-term bendable product.
