Flexible and Fast Measurement of a Large Off-Axis Non Circular Freeform Optic

Case Study Summary

This case study highlights the power of QED’s NMF system in handling large, complex freeform optics with off-axis geometries. The non-contact, cylindrical-coordinate measurement approach enables high-resolution data acquisition across asymmetric shapes—without the need for part-specific fixtures. With support for steep slopes and large departures from best-fit aspheres, this example showcases how NMF combines speed, flexibility, and accuracy to support cutting-edge optical component manufacturing.
