论文摘要
在本文中，我们正在探索3D打印的可能性，以制造天文学的镜子。在本文中研究了3D打印的优势来解决传统制造业造成的现有问题，本文研究了两种镜像镜制造策略。第一个概念是带有嵌入式执行器支持系统的可变形镜，以最大程度地减少镜像组装过程中粘结界面引起的错误。第二个概念是通过在镜子背面实现印刷厚度分布来适应应力镜抛光（SMP）技术对各种镜面形状的改编。设计调查和原型计划均针对这两项研究。
In this paper we are exploring the possibilities of 3D printing in the fabrication of mirrors for astronomy. Taking the advantages of 3D printing to solve the existing problems caused by traditional manufacturing, two proof-of-concept mirror fabrication strategies are investigated in this paper. The First concept is a deformable mirror with embedded actuator supports system to minimise errors caused by the bonding interfaces during mirror assembly. The second concept is the adaption of the Stress Mirror Polishing (SMP) technique to a variety of mirror shapes by implemented a printed thickness distribution on the back side of the mirror. Design investigations and prototypes plans are presented for both studies.
