GS Plastic Optics (Rochester, N.Y.) is touting how it has reduced lead times for its single-point diamond turning point operations.
The result, according to GS Plastic Optics, is that it is now capable of turn-around times as little as 4–6 weeks depending on material availability and design complexity. The company achieved reduced lead times through new hires and equipment purchases.
GSPO often diamond turns acrylic (PMMA), COP (Zeonex and Zeonor), Styrene, Polyester (OKP-1 and OKP-4) and other select materials into short-run or prototype plastic optics.
The company produces precision optics for the consumer, medical, instrument LED lighting, and biomedical and analytical instrument marketplaces.
