Calculator
The Calculator allows you to make Recipes.
As Materials and Amounts are added to the Calculator form, the Chemical Analysis of the recipe is automatically calculated.
The recipe is also automatically plotted on the Si:Al chart.
How to Create a Recipe
This video shows how to create a recipe using the Calculator:
Why are materials missing from the calculator?
The first version of Glazy showed every material in the database. It was slow and overwhelming, especially since most of those materials were irrelevant to any one studio.
Now the calculator only shows materials in your inventory. Check or update your list at https://glazy.org/inventory .
(In the future, the inventory page will be able to keep track of how much materials you use, and which materials you currently have in stock.)
How do I add a material to my inventory (and the calculator)?
- Log in to Glazy
- Find the material you want to add at https://glazy.org/materials/
- Click the “Add to Inventory” button.
The material is now available in your inventory and calculator .
Adding materials to inventory from the Calculator
You can also add materials to your inventory directly from the Calculator. Start typing the material name and click Add to Inventory when it appears:
Automatically Importing Recipes
Glazy can read a recipe you paste in and build it for you. It does its best to interpret the text, but imports can fail if, for example, the recipe uses a material that isn’t in Glazy yet.
To begin importing recipes, just click the “Show Recipe Import” button:
This video demonstrates how to import recipes in various formats:

Substituting Local Materials
If you want to try a recipe you find in Glazy but don’t have all the materials, you may be able to substitute local materials instead. This video will show you how.
