Optical Blank Casting
In order to grind telescope optics into an accurate shape, a highly versatile material must be used such as glass. The amateur casting process is usually done through a glass fusing kiln, in which layers or chunks of glass (usually plate or pyrex) are stacked on top of each other within a round mould specified to aperture before reaching a high temperature inside the kiln. After the melting point is reached, the glass fuses together and then the annealing process begins. This comes in the form of a glass optical blank, with common materials being plate glass The process of casting multiple sheets/parts of a single material glass
