Frequently Asked Questions

Custom CNC Optical Component Engineering FAQ

Answers to common questions from optical design engineers, equipment designers and procurement teams evaluating custom CNC optical machining services.

What drawing file formats do you accept for custom CNC optical component quotation?

We accept STEP, IGES, DXF and standard PDF engineering drawings. Please include material specification, dimensional tolerances, surface quality requirements, coating specifications and target quantity for an accurate quotation within 24 hours.

How do I select between sapphire, fused silica and BK7 for my optical component?

Material selection depends on your operating wavelength range, thermal environment, mechanical load and chemical exposure conditions. Sapphire suits high-temperature and high-hardness applications with broad UV to MWIR transmission. Fused silica offers low thermal expansion for UV to near-IR laser optics and metrology. BK7 provides cost-effective visible to near-IR transmission for imaging and laser systems. Our optical engineering team provides material recommendations during drawing review.

What is the minimum and maximum component size you can CNC machine?

Our CNC optical machining capability covers component dimensions from approximately 5 mm to 500 mm in diameter or diagonal, with thickness from 0.3 mm to 100 mm depending on material and aspect ratio. Specific size feasibility is confirmed during engineering drawing review.

Can you provide custom anti-reflection coating matched to my specific laser wavelength?

Yes. We design and deposit custom narrowband and broadband anti-reflection coatings matched to your specified wavelength, incidence angle and polarization requirements. In-situ optical monitoring during vacuum deposition verifies coating spectral performance before component release. Coating designs are available for UV, visible, near-IR and mid-IR wavelength bands.

What is the typical lead time from prototype order to first article delivery?

Prototype lead time typically ranges from 7 to 15 working days depending on material availability, geometry complexity and coating requirements. Mass production lead time is confirmed after prototype approval and process qualification. Rush prototype service is available for time-critical optical development programs.
