- The paper presents a computer simulation to model the effect of specific abrasives to achieve exacting surface finish requirements in a timely manner when preparing moulding tools for the manufacture of components where optical properties are of prime importance. Zeiss and UVEX have used the results from this work to improve the optical qualities of plastic based lenses for Sports Glasses/Goggles as used in e.g. Winter Olympic Games. There are four follow-on studies characterising process parameter dependencies including Laser modes [TruDisk4002(disc laser)] for polishing of additive manufactured AlSi10Mg for optical use with a lowest surface roughness of 0.14µm Ra achieved.
