DIFFSYS 5.1.5
Overview of DIFFSYS 5.1.5 DIFFSYS 5.1.5 is a specialized computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software developed by Precitech (a division of AMETEK, Inc.) for the ultra-precision machining of diffractive and aspheric optical components. Released around mid-2022 as part of the DIFFSYS 5.x series, it generates CNC tool paths for diamond-turning machines, enabling the fabrication of complex optical surfaces like Fresnel lenses, holograms, kinoforms, binary optics, and hybrid aspheres. This version is tailored for industries such as photonics, aerospace, defense, and medical optics, where sub-micron accuracy is critical. It integrates seamlessly with 3D modeling tools like Rhino and supports machines from leading manufacturers like Nanotech, Moore Nanotechnology, and Precitech’s own Nanoform series. As of October 2025, the current version is DIFFSYS 5.2 (released...
