The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a glass component, an apparatus for performing the same method and a glass component manufactured through the same method. The method is a drawing method wherein a forming zone of a preform is heated to a temperature that allows drawing of the glass. The method is characterized in that the forming zone of the preform is very small. Thereby the width of the preform is decreased to a smaller extent than its thickness. The glass components that can be obtained by this method have very smooth surfaces. |
