Micro optics, or microstructures, are optical shapes that can manipulate even the smallest lightbeams. The reason we need to be able to create micro optics, or even nano optics, is that light travels in short wavelengths. When light bundles need to be manipulated on such a microscopic scall a micro optic is required. As a result there are micro optics that have diameters of just a few hundred nanometers.
Micro optics and Printoptical Technology
Our Printoptical Technology enables you to create micro optics. Printed micro structures and nano optics are able to diffuse or direct light on a very small scale. One of the many advantages of printing micro structures is the reduced cost in comparison to other optics manufacturing technologies.
Advantages of micro optics
With micro optics you are able to develop a whole range of functions where there is little light loss. For example, homogenization of light and beam conversion. Thanks to these small optics a whole new level of light manipulation can be achieved. Coupled with our additive manufacturing technology the possibilities are endless. Full design freedom enables you the create whatever optic you want, as long as it is within our current printing capabilities. Create new ways to focus light on a very small scale with 3D printed micro optics.
Micro optics production
Additive manufacturing offers a couple of advantages over other optics manufacturing technologies, like diamond turning or injection molding. With Printoptical Technology a new way to refine your optic is within grasp. The manufacturing of micro optics can be done most efficient and fast with our additive manufacturing process. Within 10 working days your optic will be delivered to you. Allowing for easy iterating to get the most out of your optical design. Define, print and optimize for the micro optic which best suits your needs. No more hassle with upfront investments and tooling, easily upload your CAD file and order. Thanks to our unique 3D printing process no minimum order quantity is required. Order as many as you like. LUXeXceL is not only suited for your small and medium sized series, but also optical prototyping is within the possibilities.
