METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SHAPING A REFLECTOR

摘要

A mirror (310) is shaped using a shaping apparatus (620) including a crossbar (622) and a horizontal array of members (626) (wheels in some embodiments) attached to a bottom of the crossbar. The height of the array of members is adjusted to form a predetermined shape. The shaping apparatus is positioned over a mirror such that the members contact the mirror. The shaping apparatus is moved along a length of the mirror such that the members remain in contact with the mirror. A frame is attached to the mirror such that when the shaping apparatus is removed from the mirror, the mirror substantially retains the predetermined shape.
