Generating & Shaping

AMF Optics provides precision generating and shaping services for custom optical components, aspheric lenses, and infrared optics to take raw optical materials from their initial form to custom specifications that meet exact project needs. With decades of experience, we understand the importance of accurate material preparation as the foundation for high-quality finished IR lenses and precision optical components.

Capabilities

  • Cutting & Coring - From large sheets or ground blanks, tailored to size and geometry requirements for aspheric optics and infrared lenses.
  • Shaping - Edging or beveling prepared to customer drawings or performance specifications for custom optical components.
  • Material Flexibility - Skilled in handling a wide range of optical materials, including IR crystals (germanium, zinc selenide), fused silica, and specialty glasses.
  • Tight Tolerances - Precise dimensional control ensures optical components are ready for polishing, coating, or further processing.

Be sure to check out our Diamond Turned Optics capabilities for aspheric lens and IR optics manufacturing after generating.
