Methods of fabricating formed glass articles are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a formed glass article may include forming a glass ribbon, forming a parison, and shaping the parison to form a glass article. The glass article may be attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region defining an edge of the glass article. The process may also include contacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam and separating the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region. The attachment region may be perforated by the laser beam and the focal line may be substantially perpendicular to the plane of the glass ribbon.

1. A method of fabricating a formed glass article, the method comprising: forming a glass ribbon comprising a substantially planar topside and a substantially planar underside;forming a parison comprising glass of the glass ribbon, the parison attached to the glass ribbon at an aperture formed in th
1. A method of fabricating a formed glass article, the method comprising: forming a glass ribbon comprising a substantially planar topside and a substantially planar underside;forming a parison comprising glass of the glass ribbon, the parison attached to the glass ribbon at an aperture formed in the glass ribbon, wherein the parison is hollow with an opening at the aperture of the glass ribbon and extends from the underside of the glass ribbon;shaping the parison to form a glass article, the glass article attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region, the attachment region comprising an area proximate the edges of the aperture, the attachment region defining an edge of the glass article; andcontacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam such that the attachment region is perforated by the laser beam, wherein the focal line is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the glass ribbon and the contacting causes the spontaneous separation of the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the formed glass article is a substantially hollow container comprising an opening, wherein the opening was the aperture in the glass ribbon. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the attachment region is cylindrically shaped and defines an outer edge of a mouth of the glass article. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising conveying the glass ribbon in a process direction, wherein the contacting occurs while the attached glass ribbon and glass article are conveyed at a velocity of at least about 1 m/s. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the glass ribbon comprises a plurality of formed glass articles attached thereto prior to separating the glass articles from the glass ribbon. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the formed glass article is a container and a mouth of the container is proximate the attachment region of the glass article and the glass ribbon. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising forming the glass ribbon with at least one roller. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam has a pulse duration between about 1 picosecond and about 100 picoseconds. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the laser beam has a repetition rate of between about 1 kHz and 2 MHz. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the glass article and the glass ribbon are transparent to a wavelength of the laser beam. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the focal line of the laser beam has a length sufficient to contact only the attachment region. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein a body of the glass article has a diameter larger than an outer edge of a mouth of the glass article. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the glass ribbon and the focal line of the laser beam are in motion while the laser contacts the attachment region. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the method does not form glass chips or other debris of greater than about 200 microns. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the focal line of the laser beam moves in a circular direction relative to the glass ribbon. 16. The method according to claim 1, wherein the laser beam has a repetition rate of between about 1 kHz and 2 MHz. 17. The method to claim 1, wherein the laser beam has a repetition rate of between about 1 kHz and 2 MHz, and contains 2-25 pules per burst. 18. The method according to claim 1, wherein the laser beam is contacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam such that the attachment region is perforated by the laser beam, forming multiple perforations separated from each other by 1 to 25 microns. 19. A method of fabricating a formed glass article, the method comprising: forming a glass ribbon comprising a substantially planar topside and a substantially planar underside;forming a parison comprising glass of the glass ribbon, the parison attached to the glass ribbon at an aperture formed in the glass ribbon, wherein the parison is hollow with an opening at the aperture of the glass ribbon and extends from the underside of the glass ribbon;shaping the parison to form a glass article, the glass article attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region, the attachment region comprising an area proximate the edges of the aperture, the attachment region defining an edge of the glass article; andcontacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam such that the attachment region is perforated by the laser beam, wherein the contacting causes the spontaneous separation of the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region and: the focal line is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the glass ribbon;the laser beam has a pulse duration between about 1 picosecond and about 100 picoseconds;the laser beam has a repetition rate of between about 1 kHz and 2 MHz; andthe glass article and the glass ribbon are transparent to a wavelength of the laser beam. 20. A method of fabricating a formed glass article, the method comprising: forming a glass ribbon comprising a substantially planar topside and a substantially planar underside;forming a parison comprising glass of the glass ribbon, the parison attached to the glass ribbon at an aperture formed in the glass ribbon, wherein the parison is hollow with an opening at the aperture of the glass ribbon and extends from the underside of the glass ribbon;shaping the parison to form a glass article, the glass article attached to the glass ribbon at an attachment region, the attachment region comprising an area proximate the edges of the aperture, the attachment region defining an edge of the glass article;contacting the attachment region with a focal line of a laser beam such that the attachment region is perforated by the laser beam, wherein the focal line is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the glass ribbon; andcooling the attachment region after contacting the attachment region with a focal line of the laser beam, wherein the cooling causes separation of the glass article from the glass ribbon at the attachment region. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the cooling comprises directing a gas onto the attachment region. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the cooling comprises absorbing radiation from the attachment region with a black body.
