Core Specifications at a Glance

Core Advantages: Precision, Customization & Optical Performance

1. Tailored Optical Designs for Targeted Light Control

• Intricate Feature Replication: Replicate micro-optical structures (e.g., 5μm light-diffusing dots, 10μm prism ridges, or free-form light guides) with 99.9% accuracy, ensuring precise light refraction, reflection, or diffusion as designed. This is critical for applications like smartphone flash lenses (uniform brightness) or automotive HUDs (sharp light projection).
• Distortion Minimization: Advanced mold flow simulation (using optical-grade software) optimizes cavity geometry to reduce material shrinkage and birefringence, keeping optical distortion below 1%—essential for clear lenses or medical imaging components.
• Design Collaboration: Our optical engineers work with your team to refine designs (e.g., adjusting light guide thickness or diffuser pattern density) for moldability, ensuring the final part matches optical performance targets.

2. Size Customization: From Micro to Large-Format Optics

• Micro-Optics: Molds for tiny components (φ3–10mm) like sensor lenses, fiber optic connectors, or micro-LED light guides, with precision to handle sub-10μm features.
• Medium-Format: Solutions for consumer electronics (e.g., 20–100mm tablet backlight guides, smartwatch display lenses) and automotive interior lighting (door panel light strips).
• Large-Format: Molds for industrial lighting panels (300×500mm), automotive headlight housings, or medical light therapy panels, with uniform cooling to prevent warpage in large surfaces.
• Multi-Cavity Options: Custom multi-cavity molds for small to medium sizes (e.g., 4–8 cavities for smartphone lenses) to boost production efficiency without sacrificing precision.

3. Optical-Grade Materials & Surfaces for Clear Performance

• High-Purity Steel: Uses S136 (corrosion-resistant) or NAK80 (pre-hardened) steel, polished to Ra ≤0.005μm mirror finish—ensuring molded parts (PMMA, PC, optical-grade PP) have blemish-free surfaces that transmit light without scatter.
• Release Optimization: Specialized anti-stick coatings (compatible with optical resins) prevent surface defects like "orange peel" or micro-scratches, critical for maintaining light transmittance (≥92% for PC/PMMA parts).
• Thermal Stability: Steel’s high thermal conductivity, paired with custom cooling channels, ensures uniform resin cooling—preventing internal stresses that cause optical distortion in thick-walled parts (e.g., 5–10mm lenses).

Application Scenarios by Industry

Customization & Technical Support

• Design Validation: 3D optical simulation (ray tracing) to verify light performance before mold production, reducing trial-and-error cycles by 40%.
• Rapid Prototyping: Size-specific prototype molds in 10–15 days, using optical-grade resins to test light transmission, uniformity, and fit.
• Material Matching: Optimize mold design for your optical resin (e.g., PMMA for clarity, PC for impact resistance, COC for UV stability) to maximize performance.

Quality & Service Commitment

• Optical Inspection: Each mold undergoes 3D optical profiling (resolution 0.01μm) and interferometry to verify surface flatness and feature accuracy.
• Compliance: Meets ISO 9001 standards, with material traceability and optical performance reports for regulatory compliance.
• Lifecycle Support: Provide maintenance guidelines to preserve mirror finishes and optical precision, ensuring consistent light performance over 1,000,000+ cycles.
