From Prototype to Production: How DFM Lowers Costs for Custom Lens Assemblies
Custom lens assemblies can perform well in early builds and have issues come up when production planning begins and the realities of time, labor, and repeatability come into play. This can lead to longer timelines and drive up costs. Design for manufacturability (DFM) ensures that a design can be produced consistently and affordably in production. […]
Custom Traditional Optic Assemblies for Harsh Environments: A Guide for Defense & Aerospace
The global defense and aerospace optics market continues to grow as programs modernize and sensor technology advances.
