What Is DFM for Optical Lenses? (And Why Skipping It Costs You 3 Mold Rework Cycles)

Standard injection molding DFM checks wall thickness and draft angles. Optical lens DFM must go further — into birefringence, gate-induced stress, mold-flow simulation, and tolerance stack-up against real cavity capability. The following outlines how this process is applied in production.…
