Join us on November 17th and 18th for the APOMA Fall 2008 Optical Manufacturing Workshop, to be held in Tucson, Arizona, at the new Optical Science building at the University of Arizona. The workshop will cover a variety of topics on optical fabrication such as materials, bound and loose abrasive grinding, optical pitch and polishing pads, optical tolerances & metrology and presentations by optical machine builders on the latest equipment, and much more. On Tuesday Dave Aikens will give a tutorial on “Understanding Scratch and Dig Specifications.”
The workshop is opened to all currently paid APOMA member’s and the registration fee will be $150.00 per person. More detail on sign-up will follow. See the schedule below and click on any of the event presentations for more info.
