Manufacturing of optical molds using an integrated simulation and measurement interface

摘要: The manufacturing of optics is an important field technology and will serve key-markets in the future. research activities Transregional Collaborative Research Center ”Process Chains for Replication Complex Optical Elements” SFB/TR4 Universities Aachen, Bremen Stillwater (USA) have objective to lay the scientific foundations a deterministic economic mass production optical components with complex geometries, e.g. aspheric, non-rotational asymmetric or microstructured surfaces eventually superimposed on freeform geometries. paper presents approach integrated simulation measurement interface analysis effects during mold making as well first results its application basis inserts.
