IN THIS TECHNICAL PAPER...

Learn about the keys and best practices for manufacturing freeform and conformal geometries to ensure the greatest chance of meeting the required tolerances.

• Find out the different optical design factors that need to be considered in order to ensure manufacturability.
• Gain an understanding of the different fixture methods and designs and how they play an important role in the manufacturing process. 
• Read about the importance of error map alignment when making figure corrections, as well as why edge quality plays a critical role in preventing the failure of the optic.
