DESCRIPTION:A concise\, hands-on workshop on Single-Point Diamond Turning 
 (SPDT) — the ultra-precision technology behind modern reflective and fre
 eform optics — SEA-SPARC 2026 will introduce you to the entire life cycl
 e of an SPDT-made optical surface. Participants will have a rare opportuni
 ty to learn from and interact with leading experts from NARIT's SEAL Lab a
 nd Precitech at every stage of creating precision optics\, starting from t
 he design and simulation of a surface (freeform and off-axis mirrors\, seg
 ments of metallic primary mirrors\, secondary and tertiary mirrors\, lense
 s\, collimators\, focusers\, etc.)\, through substrate and diamond-tool se
 lection\, manufacturing by diamond turning\, surface finish\, metrology an
 d verification by laser interferometry\, and on to assembly and real-world
  applications. Live demonstrations on our 5-axis SPDT machine and metrolog
 y suite will make each step concrete. Furthermore\, there will be a chance
  for participants to present their own research\, ongoing projects\, and i
 deas via contributed oral presentations as well. We encourage a wide range
  of participants to apply (students from undergraduate to graduate levels\
 , postdocs\, scientists\, engineers\, and researchers\, whose interests ra
 nge from optics\, ultra-precision and mechanical engineering\, electronics
 \, astronomy\, astrophysics\, astronomical instrumentation\, and industria
 l applications). So\, we hope to see you all in Chiang Mai\, and wish that
  SEA-SPARC would become a recurring event that helps launch and grow SPDT 
 across Southeast Asia!\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/242/
