Contact IRD Glass

Send a drawing, a specification, or the manufacturing problem. IRD's applications team will review the material, geometry, tolerances, inspection requirements, quantity, and schedule together.

Prefer to talk it through first? Call 320.693.7217 and ask for an applications engineer.
Project details

What to include

Tell us why you are getting in touch and the team routes it from there. For a quote, include the geometry, tolerances, application, inspection requirements, and any open questions. A complete print is useful but is not required for the first conversation.

By submitting, you authorize IRD to use the information to evaluate and respond to this project inquiry. Do not include passwords, unrelated personal information, ITAR-controlled data, or other export-controlled technical data.
What happens next

How IRD responds

There is no responsible shortcut from upload to price. IRD reviews the manufacturing route and the open questions first.

Dimensional inspection of a precision optic at IRD Glass
  1. 01

    The package is reviewed

    The team checks the print, material, critical features, inspection requirements, quantities, and requested timing.

  2. 02

    Gaps are identified

    If a tolerance, material callout, datum, coating requirement, or application constraint needs clarification, IRD asks before assumptions enter the quote.

  3. 03

    The route is evaluated

    Machining, grinding, lapping, polishing, coating support, cleaning, inspection, and repeat-production needs are considered as one process.

  4. 04

    The team follows up

    You receive the questions or the commercial response through the contact details in the submission. Straightforward geometry moves quickly; a new material, coating, or inspection method takes longer because someone is checking it.

Direct contact

Call or email the team

Some components begin with an operating condition or a failed process, not a finished drawing. Call the main line when a conversation is the better starting point.
