Optical Tools Computerized Design and Manufacture

Abstract

This report addresses the design, manufacture, and use of tooling used in the production of precision lenses. A computer program is presented which will provide tooling design based on lens specification input and from which a tape for NC manufacture of the tools can be produced. Economic data is presented on tooling made from the computer design using simulated NC methods.
