Workshop in Jena from September 14 to 15
Under the title "Ultra Precision Manufacturing of Aspheres and Freeforms" the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF and OptoNet e.V. invite again to their international workshop in Jena, Germany from September 14 to 15, 2022.
It is already the 10th time that Fraunhofer IOF and OptoNet e.V. invite an international expert community to Jena to jointly discuss the latest technologies and developments in the fields of freeforms and aspheres. In its anniversary year, the event will focus on scientific freeform optics projects, manufacturing technologies, freeform systems and applications, and the characterization of freeform surfaces.
In addition to professional exchange during lectures and discussions, the event also offers the opportunity for extensive networking at an evening event. Furthermore, the workshop will be accompanied by an exhibition of the latest technological highlights. This year's exhibitors include: AMETEK GmbH BU Precitech, AMETEK GmbH BU Taylor Hobson, Bühler Alzenau GmbH, DUTCH UNITED INSTRUMENTS, Mahr GmbH, micro resist technology GmbH - Moore Nanotechnology Systems, RSP Technology, SCHNEIDER GmbH & Co. KG as well as son-x GmbH, and Trionplas Technologies GmbH.
