Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing an operation of surfacing of a lens blank to transform the lens blank into a generated lens having a predetermined prism corresponding to an inclination between a front surface and a back surface of the generated lens at least locally. The method includes: for a plurality of devices destined to interact with the lens blank during the operation of surfacing to manufacture the predetermined prism of the generated lens, attributing a priority order to each; based on the priority order, attributing to each device a prism portion which is zero or included in a respective range delimited by a respective minimum prism portion and a respective maximum prism portion, the prism portion representing contribution of the corresponding device to the prism of the generated lens, for further interaction of each device with the lens blank during the operation of surfacing.

Abstract: A blocking device includes a support member configured for providing a rigid support to the semi-finished optical element, the support member having a contact face onto which a first face of the optical element is to be applied; and a pneumatic blocking member defining a cavity configured to be closed by the first face of the optical element, the pneumatic blocking member being configured to sustain a vacuum inside the cavity so that the optical element is attached to the blocking device; the support member including a support element made of a shape-memory material having a rigid state below a predetermined temperature and a plastic state above the predetermined temperature, and assuming in the absence of external forces a predetermined memory shape when heated above the predetermined temperature, the contact face of the support member being a surface of the support element.

Abstract: A set includes a molding device having a molding face having the same shape as a contact face of the blocking device. A removable overlay of rigid material has a first face attached to a first face of the semi-finished optical element and a second face opposite to the first face having the same shape as the contact face of the blocking device, the set being configured for having a first subset configuration in which the second face of the removable overlay is in molding contact with the molding face of the molding device, then a second subset configuration in which the second face of the removable overlay is free and then a third subset configuration in which the second face of the removable overlay is retained in contact with the contact face of the blocking device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining location of a lens machining tool (24) having an offset location according to a first direction (Y) smaller than a first predetermined threshold, including the steps of manufacturing a calibration piece (10) according to a predetermined theoretical geometry by using the lens machining tool for providing a at least partially annular groove in a main surface of the calibration piece, the at least partially annular groove being configured to form at least one sharp edge defining a slope discontinuity on the main surface; measuring a distance between the at least one sharp edge and a turning center of the calibration piece for providing data of geometrical characteristics of the calibration piece; and deducing from the measured data a location of the lens machining tool according to a second direction (X) distinct from the first direction.

Abstract: An optical element includes an optical lens produced by an additive manufacturing method and a holder formed at least in part with the optical lens by the additive manufacturing method. The holder is adapted for cooperation with a manufacturing machine to thereby position the optical lens at a predetermined position in the manufacturing machine. A corresponding assembly and a method of manufacturing an optical element are also described.
