Drawing and requirement review
Component drawings, revision references and the intended optical function establish the starting point. Missing dimensions or ambiguous requirements should be identified before a manufacturing scope is agreed.
Manufacturing / 04Optical lenses.
Optical lenses.
Defined by detail.
Optical lens processing and manufacturing, developed around your component drawing, application and acceptance requirements.
Discuss your requirement ↗OPTICAL PATH STUDYILLUSTRATIVE SCHEMATIC
An optical component is defined by more than its outline. Geometry, material, optical performance and surface requirements need to work together. Share the available specification so the manufacturing scope can be discussed on a clear basis.
Lens processing and manufacture
Discuss optical lens processing against your required geometry, material and surface specification. The manufacturing route and feasibility are considered for the individual component.
Surface and finish requirements
Surface quality, finish and any coating requirements can affect the manufacturing brief. These requirements, and whether any associated processing is included, should be confirmed in the quotation.
Inspection and acceptance
Define how the finished component will be accepted. Required dimensional checks, optical verification, documentation and packaging should be specified as part of the enquiry.

A clearer specification.
A better starting point.
You do not need to have every answer before contacting us. Send what you have, and flag the details that still need to be defined.
Prepare an enquiry ↗- Component definitionA drawing with revision, dimensions, tolerances and the intended lens geometry.
- Optical requirementsMaterial or grade, working wavelength, surface quality and relevant optical specifications.
- Additional processingAny coating, edge treatment, marking or handling requirements to be considered.
- Quantity and acceptanceRequired quantities, delivery schedule, inspection criteria and documentation.
03 / Working together
From brief to next steps.
Share the specification
Send drawings, material requirements and application context.
Resolve the detail
Discuss feasibility, missing inputs and critical requirements.
Agree the manufacture
Confirm the scope, acceptance criteria and commercial terms.
Plan the delivery
Agree quantities, documentation, protective packaging and timing.
Can I enquire without a finished drawing?
Yes. Share the intended function, approximate geometry and available requirements. A defined drawing and acceptance criteria may still be needed before a manufacturing order can be agreed.
Which materials and tolerances can you supply?
Material, geometry and tolerance requirements are reviewed for each component. Send the required grade, dimensions and tolerances so feasibility can be confirmed. We do not apply a single capability claim to every lens.
Do you offer coating or other finishing processes?
Include any coating, edge treatment or finishing requirement in the initial brief. Availability, specification and inclusion in the manufacturing scope must be confirmed for the individual enquiry.
Can you discuss small quantities or repeat orders?
Please include the quantity required now and any anticipated repeat demand. Minimum quantities, lead times and production arrangements are confirmed against the specification.
What files should I provide?
A legible PDF drawing is a useful starting point, with the revision clearly identified. Mention any additional CAD data, inspection requirements or supporting optical specifications that are available.
