Lapping & Polishing

For optical features, mirrored surfaces and ultra flat surfaces, lapping and polishing is an essential process step. Axxicon is a specialist company in polishing plano, spherical and cylindrical surfaces. Axxicon’s operators use high end equipment to achieve roughness values in the range of a few nanometers and will have no scratches or traces of processing.
