The Development

We optimize your optical system through virtually prototyping, which allows a wide investigation of design concepts and spaces without the need to prototype hardware. Our main tools are optical simulation software, CAD-software and optical metrology. Our simulation models are based on our in-house measurements of light sources, materials and surfaces which guarantee high-fidelity results. We design for manufacturability and can manufacture the designs through our extensive and well-established partnerships with production companies specializing in plastic, glass or metal optical component manufacture that can manufacture the designs.

The development phase includes:

• Virtual Prototyping: optical and mechanical
• Materials models
• Light source models
• Optical component design by state-of-the-art optical development and simulation software
• Verifying all optical values and parameters of standards and customer requirements
• Sensitivity/Tolerance analyses
• Component specification
• Generation of CAD-data for the production
• Data exchange with the production
