# Top Five Common Freeforms

# What's it about?

### Customers trust Optimax to create high-quality optics and deliver them fast, and our freeforms are no exception. Designing with freeforms requires fewer elements, lighter weight and increased flexibility for your system.

Freeform optical shapes or optical surfaces are gaining popularity with lens designers and optical system integrators. Now, there are optical fabrication processes that include generation, high-speed VIBE polishing, sub-aperture figure correction, surface smoothing and testing of freeform surfaces.

Optimax produces freeform optics from glass, fused silica, crystals and ceramics for UV, Visible and IR applications using proprietary techniques for low scatter surfaces.
