Abstract
A technology for mirrors manufacturing from Wood’s alloy is considered and a specific example of their manufacture is given. A workpiece from this alloy is obtained by casting into a mold made on a 3D printer. The shaping of the mirror is carried out on a diamond micro-turning machine. The proposed approach makes it possible to quickly (within 1–2 days) produce prototypes of mirrors of complex shapes.
