A rapid precision fabrication method for artificial compound eyes

A bionic artificial compound eye manufactured on a concave mold with precision engraving method for imaging, which allows for the rapid fabrication of large-scale compound eyes at a low cost. Thousands of concave structures are accurately machined and positioned omnidirectionally in concentric rings...
