Capabilities
We offer a comprehensive set of capabilities for designing and manufacturing precision polymer optics.
Optical and Mechanical Design
- Design for manufacture
- Design verification of an existing optical design
- Tolerance analysis
- Design for imaging and illumination (non-imaging) systems
Single-Point Diamond Turning
- Diamond turned optics from plastic (Acrylic, Styrene, Zeonex, Zeonor, Ultem), Nickel, Brass, Copper, Aluminum and many other materials
- Capabilities to machine many optical surfaces like conics, diffractive, fresnel, toroidal, aspheric, spheres, plano and more
- Extensive in-house design and testing infrastructure to support our SPDT services
Polymer Injection Molding
- Innovative optical solutions with injection-molded polymers
- Molding technology that produces consistent, high quality parts
