光学元件制作历来是高强度的劳动,对许多小工场尤其如此.高额的生产费用限制了他们与国外制造商的竞争能力.但是,在光学元件制作中采用计算机辅助的技术,可以降低生产费用、改进产品质量.罗切斯特大学光学研究所的研究表明,用高速计算机控制光学加工是可行的,而在不远的将来,费用也会变得相当节省. Optical component fabrication has traditionally been highly labor intensive, especially for many small factories, where high production costs limit their competitiveness with foreign manufacturers, but using computer-aided techniques in optics fabrication can reduce manufacturing costs To improve product quality.Research conducted by the University of Rochester Institute of Optics shows that it is feasible to use high-speed computer to control optical processing, and the cost will be saved in the near future.
