Optifab, organized jointly by SPIE and APOMA, is the largest optical manufacturing conference and exhibition held in the United States.
With a unique technical focus on classical and advanced optical manufacturing technologies, Optifab offers conference attendees an exceptional opportunity to interact with worldwide experts in the field of optical fabrication. We invite you to actively participate in the technical program by joining us for Optifab 2017.
RESEARCHERS — Present your latest technical results. Researchers can present a paper or poster in a variety of optical manufacturing topic areas.
INDUSTRY— Present your latest product breakthrough. Companies can highlight their latest developments optical manufacturing.
Technical papers and posters must focus on Optical Manufacturing. In particular, we are seeking papers in the following topics:
materials and material sciences - optical glasses, polymers, crystals, infrared materials, ultraviolet materials, optical mold insert materials for glass or polymer molding, and optical adhesives
classical and automated fabrication - highlighting computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) and software for the optical industry
grinding, polishing, and new methods of surface finishing - loose and bound abrasive, diamond turning, ion figuring, water-jet cutting and removal processes, sub-aperture lap polishing and smoothing
process science - materials, abrasives, coolants, tooling, for grinding and polishing that are selected for cost reduction and flow optimization
injection molding, glass molding, lithographic processing and chemical etching
design for manufacturing - design considerations for manufacturability including, but not limited to, material choice, error budgets, tolerances, mounting, assembly, and testing
interactivity and data interfaces between optical design programs, mechanical design programs, fabrication equipment and metrology instrumentation
new developments in the optical design, manufacturing, and metrology of freeform surfaces including, but not limited to, mathematical representations of freeform surfaces, advanced methods for fabricating freeform surfaces, and practical methods for fabricating and measuring freeform surfaces using integrated fiducials
new developments in fabrication, control of mid-spatial-frequency errors in optics, polymer and crystal optics, sapphire processing, and single point diamond machining
new developments in the design, manufacturing, and metrology of micro-optics, MOEMS, and diffractive optics
new developments in coatings technology - advanced approaches for all types of optical coatings on glass, metal, plastics and crystalline materials
new developments in cleaning and inspection techniques, MIL spec marking, packaging
new developments in metrology, including all forms of interferometry, profilometry, MTF measurement, ellipsometry, scatterometry, visual inspection equipment, and surface/subsurface metrology
new developments in opto-mechanical design, fabrication, and assembly, including in-line alignment/metrology
