Effective communication is essential to accelerating our customers' time to market. Clear and precise discussions about polymer optics and engineering needs ensure smooth collaboration. If you or your team would benefit from a refresher, we invite you to watch Dr. Dale Buralli's presentation, where he covers how to articulate your requirements, the key questions to ask, and other critical aspects of optical component design. https://hubs.li/Q039LxKk0 #apollooptical #learn #optics #rochesteroptics #polymeroptics

Injection molding polymer optics for medical applications requires precision, innovation, and robust process control. What are the key steps to mastering it? Here’s a quick list that will guide you through the essentials. 1. Choose materials that align with the customer's end use part geometry.? 2. Design mold tools appropriately for the part geometry and predicted cycle times. 3. Optimize the production process. It enhances efficiency and reduces costs. 4. Implement rigorous metrology. It guarantees performance and reliability. 5. Actively ensure ISO 13485 compliance. The big takeaway? Each step is a building block towards consistently producing parts that meet or exceed the requirement. What step do you find most challenging? Let’s explore solutions together. #medicalsystems #opticsengineering #injectedmoldedoptics

Infrared illumination in driver monitoring systems (DMS) are used to detect driver distraction, drowsiness, and signs of impairment. These systems provide timely alerts to help reduce the frequency of accidents. Europe and more recently the US are mandating these systems under new road safety regulations, underscoring their importance in reducing collisions and saving lives. We are working closely with OEM's and Tier 1's to bring these systems to production. Plan your next IR product journey with Apollo Optical Systems.https://hubs.li/Q0337J0H0 #IRdrivermonitoring #automotiveoptics #apollooptical
