01Products

Four families,
built to your specification.

Nothing here is off the shelf. Each family describes a class of problem we solve — the actual geometry, substrate and tolerances come from your requirements.

03Process

Five steps.
Enter at any of them.

Engage us for the complete chain, or for the single stage you are missing. A finished design that needs printing is as welcome as a blank sheet.

01

Optical Design

PrintOptix process

Complex multi-surface freeform design for 3D-printable optics, supported by wave-optical simulation, diffractive elements, freeform holograms, optimization algorithms and full tolerancing.

02

Structural Design

PrintOptix process

The supporting structure around the optically active parts, customized to your requirements and shaped to the constraints of the printing process.

03

Process Optimization

PrintOptix process

Ten years of process experience applied to tuning manufacturing parameters, so the finished part actually delivers the performance the design promised.

04

Fabrication

PrintOptix process

Printing on glass slides, silicon wafers, image sensors, fibre tips and LEDs. The substrate can be swapped — or the component supplied with no substrate at all.

05

Characterization

PrintOptix process

Surface measurement and optical performance testing against the design specification, so every part ships with data behind it.

04Advantage

More optical freedom,
fewer constraints.

PrintOptix brings geometry, fabrication and integration into one workflow — replacing the hand-offs and compromises conventional optics require.

The PrintOptix advantage

Six constraints, one integrated system

01Freeform complexity
