Ultraprecision manufacturing and optics unite two sophisticated technologies that are essential for a modern world that demands exact and meticulous results. From spacecraft components, next-generation displays and electronic devices to low-cost photovoltaic cells, defense and security technologies, ultraprecision machining is the catalyst behind much of today’s frontline products. The pioneers driving this area of industrial fastidiousness come from many different sectors. Photonics approaches are largely dominated by laser machining, but there are many other methods that can...Read full article

    milling
    An automatic surface-generating process involving the removal of a material from a given surface. Optical milling typically involves the abrasion of glass by a diamond-charged wheel.
    3d printing
    3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
