Corning’s Gorilla Glass is useful for protecting the ( mostly ) flat screens of smartphones, but it’s not a great fit for the curvy world of wearables. The company is prepared to change with the times, though, as it just announced that it can manufacture 3D-shaped Gorilla Glass. Its newly available technique conforms to unusual designs without adding bulk or losing strength. If all goes well, products using the 3D glass will be on store shelves sometime this year. Corning hasn’t named customers, but we imagine that at least a few companies are interested in using the material for durable yet unconventional displays.
