Where to Buy Plastic Optics

From plastic lenses and screen diffusers to acrylic domes and PMMA acrylic windows, we offer a wide range of plastic optics for applications seeking cost-effective optical solutions. Dependent on component, we are able to offer plastic optics in custom-made options or from our vast range of stock. For more information on our plastic substrate offerings, please contact a member of the technical sales team today.

Shanghai Optics produces the highest quality plastic optics in a variety of shapes, including aspheric lenses, optical prisms, cylinder lenses, toroid lenses, and free form optics. Our state of the art in house equipment allows us to use the most efficient ways to produce polymer optical components, including single point diamond turning and machining, CNC machining, and injection molding.

Injection molding is the most common way to manufacture large quantities of polymer optics. During the molding process melted thermoplastics are injected into prepared optical forms. Shanghai Optics has extensive experience in optics molding and especially in developing high quality molds for both standard and custom optics. Our optical design team has experience preparing both single cavity and multi-cavity molds, and molding acrylic (PMMA) lenses, polycarbonate lenses, cyclic olefin polymer lenses, etc.
