Abstract
This work shows practical details of methodologies for conventional milling of arbitrary spherical lenses from high-density polyethylene as well as the production and polishing of off-axis parabolic mirrors using fused filament fabrication 3D printing. The techniques allow for low-volume, low-cost and fast prototyping of large optical elements for prototype setups.
