Fabrication of Complex Optical Components From Mold Design to Product

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. E. Brinksmeier, Professor for Manufacturing Technologies, University of Bremen; Director, Foundation Institute of Materials Science, IWT; Director, Laboratory for Precision Machining, LFM - Present research efforts include the areas of ultraprecision and micro machining (machining of optical molds, diamond machining of steel in optical quality and optical lightweight components), material dedicated machining (surface integrity, low distortion machining, difficult-to-machine materials), development of environmentally sound processes (focusing cutting fluids and energy saving processes), abrasives technologies (sensorized grinding wheels, grind hardening, polishing of molds), as well as modelling and simulation of machining processes.
