My mom made some really amazing stained glass projects when I was a kid and I've always been fascinated by it. Recently I had the thought that the process could be singnificantly sped by using CNC/Waterjets or something else to help with the really time consuming cutting and fitting aspects.
I've found a few instances where people have used CNC cutters with a diamond drag bit to help score the glass, and a few industrial glass cutting applications of similar to stained glass size items, but no real start to finish projects.
This is an interesting industrial example as they were able to produce a stained glass piece that is made almost entirely from curved pieces (a near impossibility with traditional scoring and breaking) - https://semyx.com/solutions/waterjet-applications/glass/
