Tool Making
Tools are designed and manufactured in house. Also mould validation and volume production can be done in-house. Mould inserts are typically produced by lapping and polishing. A roughness of 2nm Ra can be achieved with a form accuracy of 1λ
Injection Moulding
For the replication of freeform optics two in-house moulding methods can be used:
- Injection compression moulding
- (Vario Thermal) straight injection moulding
Depending on your product, we will select the favourable method for you.

QA
For measurement of the mould insert and/or replica’s we use either an 3D confocal Laser Microscope, Interferometer or CMM using a probe.
