Greetings! During our presentation to the QRB2 committee this week, we showcased our efforts to enhance the manufacturing process for intraocular lenses (IOLs). Addressing issues like coolant nozzle occlusion and waste removal system clogs, we introduced innovations such as internalized flow paths and heat jackets. Our simulations and testing revealed significant improvements in flow uniformity and speed. Successful adhesion tests with Polyurethane demonstrate our commitment to comprehensive solutions. Looking forward, our critical path for Spring 2024 outlines our timeline for completing simulations, manufacturing prototypes, and conducting testing. Despite risks like challenges in integrating a PLC, we remain dedicated to collaboration and innovation as we redefine optical manufacturing. This week we also 3D printed our new nozzle itteration and bracketry system as seen in Image 1. Stay tuned for updates as we push the boundaries of excellence at PolarFlow Optics.
