Development of Bridge Tooling for Fabricating Mold Inserts of Aspheric Optical Lens

摘要

Bridge tooling has been developed for fabricating the temporary mould inserts of aspheric lenses using silicone rubber materials. Prototype material for aspheric lenses is not recommended as quartz due to the low success rate in the fabrication process. This technology provides a fast, low cost and highly successful rate of fabricating the epoxy-based composite mould inserts of plastic aspheric optical lenses.
