Products

Ultra-precision diamond machined optical, opto-mechanical, and mechanical components

Nanophorm is nimble, vertically integrated, and staffed by passionate engineers with real-world product development experience. This means you get better results, faster.

Your most complex prototyping and production problems are our focus. We partner with you early, providing design and manufacturing engineering. We then turn to our in-house, vertically integrated facility to rapidly complete your job. Our capabilities include heat-treat, CNC machining, plating, diamond turning, and optical coating, all backed by NIST-traceable metrology. You get your prototypes faster, your product to market faster.
