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 […]
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 […]
Wide Field Space Imaging Project Overview Meeting the growing demand for large-area Earth observation requires optical systems that combine wide field of view, high optical performance, and compact design. One such solution is a space camera optical system based on an off-axis four-mirror freeform design, achieving a 70° ultra-wide field of view from a 640 […]
Key Takeaways Design optimizations enhanced telescope manufacturability and performance. Replacing the optical tube with carbon fiber reduced weight and improved thermal stability. A redesigned secondary mirror mount with locating pins and adhesive injection holes ensured precise, long-term alignment. Adding shims and positioning pins between the primary mirror and tube enabled fine-tuned alignment and post-assembly stability. […]
Explore optical system design optimization for fixed-focus lenses and objectives, including structural adjustments and tolerance analysis.
Optical design refers to the design process of optical components and optical systems using optical principles and technologies. Optical design has a long history, and in recent years, due to the development of design software, optical design work has become simpler and more practical.
