Freeform Surface Characterization and Instrument Alignment for Freeform Space ApplicationsCMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) metrology provides simple, 3D (three dimensional) surface data used for prescription retrieval, figure error, and alignment with high accuracy without null-correctors. Two freeform mirrors for a compact telescope were successfully characterized and aligned using the CMM.
