About This Webinar
In this webinar, Edmund Optics’ asphere experts will discuss the benefits of using aspheres in optical system design and the factors to take into account during the design process. You will learn how to improve manufacturability, performance, and cost through better asphere design. The presenters will discuss key manufacturability considerations that will significantly reduce asphere lead time and cost if considered early enough in the design process.
After attending this webinar, participants will better understand:
- Benefits of using aspheres in optical system design
- Challenges of asphere manufacturing
- Key factors of manufacturable aspheres
