Birefringence of plastic optical parts are dependent on stresses during the manufacturing process; therefore, understanding and controlling flow and thermal induced stresses can help to optimize fringe patterns. Because of the difference in cost of alternative manufacturing methods of optical compliant parts, using simulation can help to determine the most cost-effective method in manufacturing compliant parts. This webinar will showcase the study of birefringence using conventional injection molding to conventional compression and injection compression molding.

What you will learn:

• Causes of induced stressed during manufacturing
• Effects of stress on birefringence using alternative manufacturing methods
• Difference in part quality using different manufacturing methods
