AACHEN POLYMER OPTICS DAYS INTERNATIONAL

PROGRAMAACHEN POLYMER OPTICS DAYSINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCEAPRIL 12 - 13, 2016

PARTNERThe conference is supportet by:FOREWORDAachen Polymer Optics DaysAs demands to be met by optical products become increasinglyexacting, the optical components used assume greater importance, reflecting the trend for optical plastics which must beproduced not only cost efficiently but also with ever higher levelsof precision in a continuous process. Complex applicationsbased on optical systems with ultra-precision microstructuresare attracting enormous interest in a number of sectors suchas medical engineering or automotive manufacturing. Inaddition to the classical injection molding processes, roll-to-rolltechniques rank particularly highly among the technologiesof the future.The Aachen Polymer Optics Days 2016 provide an excellentnetworking platform for visitors from industry and researchwho are interested in participating in a lively exchange of ideasand opinions relating to manufacturing options and potentialapplications for optical plastic products. Speakers giving19 specialist lectures will shed more light on the followingfour subject areas: Injection moulded optics Continuous production of planar optics and films Innovative optical grade polymers and applications Light sources and optical systemsThe papers presented by experts in their respective subjectareas will outline the current developments and trends froma production-oriented point of view, highlighting applicationrelated aspects.Seize the opportunity offered by this conference as aprestigious industry event to swap ideas with other experts!
