Molded Plastic Optics
LINE
Syntec Optics offers deep expertise in both moldings opaque and optical polymers. For over ten years, we have been manufacturing complex custom optical components, such as plastic Plano prisms and additional molded plastic optics, and combining them as required to form complete optoelectronic solutions.
At Syntec Optics, we perform all services in-house for the highest precision results in the shortest possible time.
This seamless integration is our hallmark. If timelines are critical to your product development success, we can provide injected molded plastic optics and precision optical polymers in as little as three weeks. Our breadth of knowledge and capabilities means we can speed cycle times and help reduce total costs as much as 5X by recommending the right approach and moving easily between diamond-turned and molded plastic optics solutions. By the time you’re ready to manufacture, we have identified and resolved potential production issues and put in place custom metrology fixtures for testing quality to the same levels you need and some of the tightest tolerances in the industry.
Which plastics have good optical properties?
Acrylics, Polystyrene, Polyetherimide, Poly-Carbonate, Methyl-Pentene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Cyclic Olefin Polymers, Nylon, NAS, Styrene Acrylonitrile
What are optical plastics?
Optical plastics, such as Acrylics, possess good optical properties (refractive index, surface quality, clarity, and transparency). They can be molded into optical components like lenses, prisms, and mirrors. They are low-cost, lightweight alternatives to some of the glass optics applications.
Which plastic is used for making optical lenses?
Acrylics, Polystyrene, Polyetherimide, Poly-Carbonate, Methyl-Pentene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Cyclic Olefin Polymers, Nylon, NAS, Styrene Acrylonitrile
How are plastic lenses made?
Plastic lenses are made by molding opaque and optical polymers.
