Glass moulding
Glass moulding is a process that involves shaping glass into precise optical components without the need for grinding or polishing. Known as precision glass moulding or ultra-precision glass pressing, this technique is essential for creating high-quality lenses used in various consumer products, such as digital cameras, and in sophisticated equipment like medical systems. The process is highly efficient for producing complex shapes, including aspheric geometries, which are challenging to achieve with traditional mechanical production methods.
