Freeform monolithic multi-surface telescope manufacturing
Creating a monolithic telescope in which all optical surfaces are off-axis and manufactured from a single optical blank piece of material required advances using freeform optics fabrication processes and techniques.

The Manufacturing of a multi-surface monolithic telescope with freeform surfaces
Monolithic multi-surface telescopes combined with freeform optical surfaces provide improvements in optical performance in a smaller footprint as compared to systems with spherical surfaces, while providing superior mechanical stability to traditional telescope assemblies.

Fabricating Freeform Optics
At Optimax, our precision engineering and measurement capabilities allow us to tolerance strict limits for freeform surfaces, enabling the generation of mild, wild, and extreme surfaces. We work to ensure our collaborations are innovatively driven, meaning we are continuously looking for new ways to measure, specify, and tolerance freeform surfaces.
