The main stage of manufacturing precision reflectors is hardening of polymeric matrix which determines the final geometric shape of a product as well as its characteristic. Often, this process takes place in a rigid tool set which restraints changes in the geometric shape. In this connection, during the specified process internal technological stresses appears in the reflector’s material; these stresses could influence precision geometry. This article concerns development of mathematical and algorithmic support for determination of internal stresses and optimization of geometric models in the "reflector – snap" system.
