BLANK
MOULDING
TECHNOLOGY
AT MOULDED OPTICS,
WE STAND OUT FROM
COMPETITORS BY
OFFERING:
- VERSATILE SOLUTIONS
Moulded Optics specialises in precision glass and polymer
solutions for a range of industries, such as lighting, medical,
automotive, and more.
We provide complete services, from designing optical
components to creating prototypes with cutting-edge
technology (CMM) and high-quality serial manufacturing.
3. EXPERT TEAM
Our skilled and experienced technical team leads
the way in a controlled production environment.
4. PROBLEM SOLVERS
We’re known for our solution-oriented approach to
developing and implementing innovative
optical solutions.
MANUFACTURING
Our advanced blank moulding manufacturing process,
coupled with precise measurement systems at every
stage, ensures the quality expected from a Made-in
Germany production that aligns with our customers’
exacting requirements.
DECADES OF EXPERTISE
With 20+ years of experience, we continually optimise design, moulding, and production,
rigorously checking quality throughout. Our integrated system delivers innovative solutions
quickly, driven by our experienced team leaders within our family-owned structure.
TYPES OF MOULDING
PROCESSES
- ROD MOULDING
TECHNOLOGY
Our experts use rod moulding, which simplifies
production by using one size for various lenses. This
saves costs and offers flexibility in crafting different
shapes and diameters from various glass types.
2. GOB PRESSING
For high-volume precision automotive headlight
optics, we rely on gob pressing. This efficient
technique allows us to produce large quantities with
unmatched precision
MOULDING
We employ creative methods to make compact
optics, including small and hybrid optics, using
materials like PMMA and polycarbonate. This
approach ensures both affordability and
outstanding optical performance
PRODUCING BLANK-MOULDED
OPTICS: A SIMPLE EXPLANATION
- OPTICS DESIGN &
DEVELOPMENT
We start by understanding what our customers need for
their optical products. Then, we come up with solutions that
balance technology and cost-effectiveness to meet
those needs.
Making precise moulds for blank moulding is complex, but we
excel at it. Our experienced engineers use their research skills
to create the right moulds for our clients. Our in-house
moulding and tooling department lets us respond quickly
with creative solutions
3. OPTICS PROCESSING
We handle all the steps in making optical components
ourselves. This includes blocking, grinding, polishing, centring,
edging, and using heat and chemicals to harden them.
4. COATING
To improve the performance of optical parts, we add
special coatings. These coatings are like special layers that
help the optics work better. We have different types, like
mirrors, anti-reflective coatings, and more, tailored to
what our customers need for their projects.
WE OFFER:
High-Reflective-Mirror-Coating
Anti-Reflex-Coating
Front-surface mirror coating
Cold mirror coating
UV Blocker
IR Blocker
Sapphire coating
5. SAPPHIRE COATING
We create sample products that are ready for testing.
These samples are carefully checked by our in-house
Quality Assurance team. We then provide a report,
called the “Initial Sample Report,” to the client.
6. SAMPLING
We create sample products that are ready for testing.
These samples are carefully checked by our in-house
Quality Assurance team. We then provide a report,
called the “Initial Sample Report,” to the client.
QUALITY CONTROL
After we finish making the optics, our dedicated team
carefully checks each one to make sure they are perfect.
This is like a last check to ensure they are very precise and
work well.
8. SERIAL PRODUCTION
We make many of these precision products one after the
other. We are very strict about quality control, and because
of this, our products are consistently precise and high-quality.
