Drawing and application review
We read the drawing against the optical function, flag ambiguous datums or tolerances and identify the parameters that drive cost or risk.
Capabilities
A local optics network, coordinated as one technical route.
TradeOPC is based in Shangrao and works with qualified local optical fabrication, coating and metrology partners. We select the route by process and requirement, then hold the technical thread from drawing review to release.
The public boundary is deliberate: standard ranges are shown as guidance, drawing-review work is identified separately, and anything outside the launch scope is stated rather than implied.
Send the drawing to the RFQ deskHow the network works
One front door. A qualified route behind it.
Different optical processes have different strengths. Rather than force every part through one line, we match the route to the drawing and keep the assumptions, changes and acceptance criteria in one place.
- 01One technical contact for drawing review, questions and change control
- 02Process selection based on geometry, substrate, coating and inspection
- 03Supplier identity kept out of the public catalogue
- 04Scope and exclusions written into the quotation
Process route
From drawing to release
Every project starts with the same discipline: define the requirement, close the gaps, then choose the route.
Material and coating alignment
Substrate, wavelength band, AOI, polarization and environmental exposure are checked before a coating route is proposed.
Route and inspection plan
Fabrication, coating and measurement steps are matched to the part. The inspection method and documentation are agreed with the quotation.
Release and change control
Production follows the approved baseline. Any drawing, coating or acceptance change is recorded before it affects the order.
Capability matrix
Standard, drawing review and launch exclusions.
This matrix is a conversation tool, not a guarantee. Final feasibility depends on the complete drawing, substrate, coating curve, quantity and inspection plan.
| Family | Standard starting point | By drawing review | Not in launch scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenses | Ø2–150 mm; N-BK7 / H-K9L; λ/2; 40/20 | Ø150–300 mm; UV fused silica or sapphire; λ/4–λ/10; 20/10–10/5 | Molded consumer optics and active lens modules |
| Prisms | Catalog-scale geometry; ±3 arcmin; 60/40 | Larger or custom geometry; ±5 arcsec; 40/20 or 20/10 | Complex active prism assemblies |
| Filters | Standard spectral bands; 40/20 | Custom CWL, FWHM, blocking and hardened stacks | Active tunable filters |
| Mirrors | λ/4; 40/20; protected aluminum or dielectric HR | λ/8–λ/10; custom AOI, band and laser-damage review | Large adaptive or actively cooled mirrors |
| Reticles | Pattern review from vector data; BK7 or UV fused silica | Custom line width, chrome thickness and pattern inspection | Semiconductor mask writing |
| Gratings | Concave or ruled format reviewed with the optical design | Custom groove density, blaze wavelength and efficiency target | Volume holographic master production |
| Coatings | AR and HR bands reviewed from a spectral target | Custom multilayer stacks, masking and durability plan | In-line coating inside a customer cleanroom |
Dimensions, tolerances, reflectance, transmission and inspection values are examples only. The approved drawing and quotation define the delivered requirement.
Inspection and documentation
The release plan is agreed with the order.
Inspection is not a generic checklist. The drawing and application determine which measurements matter, how they are reported and what evidence travels with the parts.
- Dimensional and geometric checks against the drawing
- Surface figure and surface-quality measurement where specified
- Coating R/T verification against the agreed curve
- Material and lot traceability when required
- Certificate of conformance and inspection report as agreed
- NDA review before confidential technical files are exchanged
Prepare an RFQ
Give the route enough information to be honest.
A product name alone does not define an optical part. The following inputs let us respond with a scoped route rather than a generic price.
- 01Optical drawing or CAD model with critical dimensions
- 02Substrate and wavelength band
- 03Coating curve, AOI and polarization
- 04Prototype quantity and expected annual volume
- 05Inspection, documentation and acceptance requirements
- 06Target date, packaging and cleanliness requirements
