Steps for more sophisticated mold forming - Flexible Mold Design

Comprehensive Optical Design is Possible

By changing the lens shape from the design stage, the effects of a decreasing refractive index can beeliminated:

  • predicting of decrease in refractive index by finite element method
  • calculation of wave front and focal length
  • correction of optical properties by shape change
Comprehensive Optical Design is Possible

Effective Process Optimization

By using this software to optimize the mold forming process, labor and expenses can be greatly reduced.Conventionally, such work required several days, but with this software, it can be done in just a few hours.
