Capability requirements and tolerances

Consumer-specific numerical targets, quantities and acceptance limits remain open or incompletely reviewed. No smartphone-grade suitability is claimed. Distinct capability tiers require their own making route and qualification.

Making outline

Cold form and finish a stable line-standard bar, set marker spacing by an independent selected-wavelength fringe-counting realization, and preserve its reference temperature
Detailed procedure and acceptance remain unresearched.

What remains unresolved

Full inventory, required quantities, process settings, numerical demand and suitability remain open.
Current memory-first method needs source and compatibility review.
