1 PROGRAM AACHEN POLYMER OPTICS DAYS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE APRIL 12-13, 2016

2 PARTNER FOREWORD The conference is supported by: Aachen Polymer Optics Days As demands to be met by optical products become increasingly exacting, the optical components used assume greater importance, reflecting the trend for optical plastics which must be produced not only cost efficiently but also with ever higher levels of precision in a continuous process. Complex applications based on optical systems with ultra-precision microstructures are attracting enormous interest in a number of sectors such as medical engineering or automotive manufacturing. In addition to the classical injection molding processes, roll-to-roll techniues rank particularly highly among the technologies of the future. The Aachen Polymer Optics Days 2016 provide an excellent networking platform for visitors from industry and research who are interested in participating in a lively exchange of ideas and opinions relating to manufacturing options and potential applications for optical plastic products. Speakers giving 19 specialist lectures will shed more light on the following four subject areas: Injection moulded optics Continuous production of planar optics and films Innovative optical grade polymers and applications Light sources and optical systems The papers presented by experts in their respective subject areas will outline the current developments and trends from a production-oriented point of view, highlighting applicationrelated aspects. Seize the opportunity offered by this conference as a prestigious industry event to swap ideas with other experts!

5 INFORMATION ORGANIZER Aachen Polymer Optics Days International Conference April 12-13, 2016 Conference Languages The presentations will be held in German and English and interpreted simultaneously. Conference Venue Pullman Aachen Quellenhof Monheimsallee 66, Aachen, Germany Organizer Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and the Skilled Crafts at RWTH Aachen University Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT The aim of the Fraunhofer IPT is to develop new and optimize existing solutions through practice-oriented research and development. The Fraunhofer IPT transfers the results of this R&D directly into practice in client companies, which come from a wide range of industries the automotive industries and its suppliers, especially tool and die making, as well as fine-mechanics and optical industries, aerospace industries and machine tool manufacturers. Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, founded in 1985, is one of the most important contracting research and development institutes of its sector worldwide. Its experts develop and optimize laser beam sources and laser processes. In close cooperation with its clients, it uses laser technology to solve tasks for production, measurement technology, environment, energy, medical technology and biotechnology. Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) in Industry and the Skilled Crafts at RWTH Aachen University The Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) is one of the biggest institutes engaged in this field of research. In organisational terms, IKV is divided up into the four specialist departments of Injection Moulding, Extrusion and Rubber Technology, Part Design and Materials Technology, and Composites and Polyurethane Technology.
