Opti-Forms specializes in custom designed reflector geometries to meet specific customer requirements.

The unique process of electroforming affords the production of exotic, complicated shapes at substantial cost savings over conventional manufacturing methods such as grinding and polishing glass, diamond or other single point machining etc.

Aspheric shapes such as paraboloids, ellipsoids, hyperboloids, as well as off-axis segments can be produced in volume at a fraction of the cost of these conventional optical fabrication techniques. Since electroforming is a process of replication, each electroform will exhibit equal physical and optical characteristics as the previous one for a uniform consistency in product quality.

OFI has the capability of producing a variety of these specialized shapes including laser pumping cavities, parabolic and elliptical 2-axis linear troughs, ophthalmic molds, multi-faceted integrating mirrors, as well as full aperature, stress-free, off axis mirror segments. These segments along with custom-cut geometric configurations and access holes are produced with very precise electrical discharge machining (EDM). This unique and extremely accurate process eliminates optical distortions and dimensional deviations usually induced by conventional machining methods.

Custom Reflector Designs

Opti-Forms has computer-aided design engineering facilities for 2D and 3D parametric component design for fast turn-around of new products and/or tooling. This CAD technology allows aconic surfaces to be generated, which maximize radiant energy system performance. Computer generated geometry is easily transformed into master tooling utilizing "in house" CNC machining technology.
