Request InfoGS Plastic OpticsG-S Plastic Optics has acquired a Precitech Nanoform 200 two-axis aspheric contouring machine to perform single-point diamond turning in-house, which has several advantages over outsourcing the process. The company can reduce lead time to completing prototypes and to producing optical inserts for the molds; can retain internal control over surface figures, irregularity and process; and can increase the scope of the types of tooling it can support by controlling the optical insert process.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/9/2023Innovations in Ultrashort-Pulse and RF-Excited CO2 Lasers Expand Materials Processing ApplicationsIndustrial laser materials processing is constantly evolving.
