Abstract
The production of optical free-form surfaces requires a high level of precision and surface quality. The process chain presented combines pre-grinding, fine grinding and ultra-fine grinding using a 5-axis CNC machine in order to achieve high shape accuracy and surface quality. The presented process chain makes it possible to produce free-form surfaces with high geometric precision and optical qualities.
