Optimized Lightweighting Design for a Near-Infrared Reflective Mirror

Key Takeaways – Optimized Lightweighting Design for a NIR Reflective Mirror The original design’s thin ribs and deep pockets achieved greater mass reduction (0.61× the optimized design) but introduced higher deformation risk and lower manufacturability.  The optimized geometry by Avantier provides improved stiffness, reduced thermal distortion, and more reliable machining.  Overall, the optimized design offers […]

Why Do Optical Projects Fail?

Key Takeaways Optical projects often fail when designs look good in theory but fall apart in production or real-world use.  At Avantier, we prevent these failures by ensuring designs are manufacturable, simulating real-world performance, and accounting for variations and tolerances.  Our decades of expertise and advanced tools reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and deliver reliable optical […]
