光学プロトタイプ設計のリード者
AN-Prototypeは、ダイヤモンドCNC旋削、5軸マイクロフライス、CNC加工、真空注型、高速射出成形技術など、透明な光学プロトタイプカスタム品作成ソリューションを提供します。透明および光学プロトタイプの製造とは、主に透明アクリル酸(PMMA)およびポリカーボネート(PC)部品、またはアセンブリ製部品です。ほとんどの光学プロトタイプでは、例えば、自動車の照明、ライトガイドアセンブリ、ディスプレイなど部品は全て鏡面の鮮明な効果が必要となります。

プロトタイプ作製用2種類の一般的な光学材料

アクリル酸(PMMA)
アクリル(PMMA)は最も人気のあるCNC加工透明光学プラスチック材料の一つであり、精密5軸CNCフライス加工により最適な表面仕上げを作ることができます。研磨されたアクリル光学プロトタイプは、最適な解像度と光透過率を持ってます。専門の高速光学プロトタイプメーカーとして、PMMA光学プロトタイプの製造には先進的で優れた技術がお客様の期待よりいいものを提供できます。

ポリカーボネート(PC)
ポリカーボネート(PC)は、CNCの精密加工に使用される透明な光学プロトタイプ制作用のもう一つの材料である。その透明度はPMMAより低いが、アクリル酸よりもっと強い。PC光学部品の製造技術の一つは蒸気バフ仕上げ方法は、部品の内外表面仕上げと透明性を大幅に向上させることができます。

ダイヤモンド旋削加工方法
ダイヤモンド旋削のプロセスで、事前にプラスチック部品はCNC機械によってプラスチックブロックから加工され、最後に天然ダイヤモンド切断工具によって切断されて、それによってサブミクロン領域の形状精度と数ナノメートルの表面粗さ値を持つ光学表面が生成されます。

バフ仕上げ
具体的な方法:400#または600##サンドペーパーで表面を磨き、表面の刀痕を除去し、その後徐々にサンドペーパーの等級を800#-1000#-1500##に高め、最後に2000##サンドペーパーで磨き、磨き後の表面の高さは滑らかで、機械の模様と痕跡がない。最後に、バフ仕上げクリームで精製し、最終的に超透明の目的を達成します。


Vapor Polishing
When properly processed and polished, polycarbonate can achieve optical properties similar to acrylic and is commonly used in a wide range of applications such as lamps, light pipes and displays. Vapor polishing is primarily used to enhance small features on materials such as polycarbonate and can improve interior and exterior surface finishes. Steam polished polycarbonate parts to remove minor scratches and other small surface irregularities.
Specific steps: by boiling the container with methylene chloride to generate vapor, and then use the vapor to flow over the surface of the polycarbonate. When it hits a surface, it melts on a molecular level and makes it transparent. The whole process must be carried out in a closed and well-ventilated room to prevent operators from being exposed to harmful fumes. After the polishing process, the parts must be sent to dry to evaporate the dichloromethane.

Vacuum casting for low-volume optical prototypes
Polyurethane vacuum casting is a fast and economical way to manufacture small batches of clear prototypes. AN-Prototype has considerable experience in manufacturing low-volume optical components.
- The main pattern can be achieved with an impeccable surface finish.
- Achieve the best optical pattern detail.
- Utilize a release agent to avoid stickiness and surface defects.
- Proper casting process with suitable silicone and polyurethane materials.
- Urethane parts can be realized in two colours.
- Clear casts typically make 12-15 copies.
- More than 30 clear parts can be produced in 15 days or less.
AN-Prototype uses a variety of materials and technologies with excellent properties, which allow us to successfully manufacture ultra-clear cast parts.

Rapid Tooling For Transparent Parts
Rapid injection molding of clear plastics allows the use of expected materials and end production techniques, achieving Class A surface finishes when manufacturing injection molded optics and clear parts using materials such as PMMA and PC. If you need as few as 100 or more than 10,00 clear plastic parts to test small batch production, then we recommend express rapid aluminum tooling service, which means lower tooling costs and faster production.

Optical Prototyping Applications - Automotive Lighting Optics
AN-Prototype has been committed to expanding its knowledge and experience in manufacturing optical components, and has the ability and successful cases to manufacture automotive lighting components. Our proactive, flexible manufacturing processes support automotive lighting development projects at every level. From mechanical component design review and photometric development engineering testing to showcasing automotive lighting project lights. We have mastered the methods of the best automotive lighting prototyping, ensuring that we provide the best automotive lighting prototyping services to all our clients.
Among them, the manufacturing process of lamp lens and light guide is a key area of automotive lighting prototype, because it significantly affects the balance of vision and usability. Our experience in the field of automotive prototyping ensures that we give this area our full attention and work with our customers to ensure their fitment and finish requirements. With the latest diamond machining technology, 4, 5 axis CNC machining, or even single point diamond machining (SPDM or SPDT), it can ensure a minimum machining tool radius of 0.1mm to create the details of these optical surfaces and areas. The prototype surface tolerance can reach +/-0.02mm. With the polishing process, the best transparency and light transmittance can be achieved. The final optics are very precise and have excellent optical quality without any marks or scratches. We are able to manufacture automotive lighting prototypes of any complex shape with various shapes of outer lenses, inner lenses, reflectors, light pipes, planar rails, large rails, etc.
