geometric reflector shapes: parabolic, elliptical, off-axis parabolic, aconic, aspherical, and spherical

Opti-Forms' Standard Metal Reflector Series Geometries

Click on the geometric shape category above to view our standard electroformed metal reflector series. You will make initial selections based on your focal point, dimensional or geometric requirements.

If you do not see a part that meets your requirements in our standard product categories, please contact us for a custom solution. Opti-Forms specializes in custom designed reflector geometries to meet specific customer requirements.

Custom CA and V_DIA dimensions other than those listed in our standard products listings are easily accomplished by fabricating prescribed process tooling at a nominal fee.

Electroforming Process

The electroforming manufacturing method generates an exact copy via replication in metal (typically nickel) of a master mandrel by a process called electrodeposition. Specific benefits of electroforming are low unit costs, exact atomic scale repeatability and excellent process control for quality.  Often times the design engineer will find electroforming is preferred for many applications requiring a complex true geometric shape form factor, thin walls, and high repeatability.
