The Latest Project Progress
On this page, we inform you about the latest progress of the 3DPrintoptixMarket project.
FIRST EYE-TRACKING
The 3D-printed micro-optics are currently being used in the smart glasses of our project partner Viewpointsystem by a number of industrial customers, enabling practical improvements. With smart glasses, the ability to customize the optics to fit different face shapes and individual eye characteristics is important. The flexibility of the 3D printing process makes it possible to further enhance the functionality and user experience of smart glasses at a manageable cost.
The goal of the project is to reduce the size of the micro-optics by a further 50 percent while maintaining the same optical quality. In addition, the printing time will be reduced by more than 70 percent to just a few minutes.
TIME SAVINGS IN THE MANUFACTORING PROCESS OF MICROOPTICS:
By means of various adjusting screws, both the printing time reduction and the preparation time for the 3D printing of the individual microoptics could be reduced by more than 80%.
This time could be achieved by changing the writing process and developing a lens tool. Originally, a 70% reduction in printing time was set as the target. The target printing time could thus be significantly undercut. This allows massive cost savings and will soon enable series production of microoptics with 3D printing.
DRIVING EUROPEAN INNOVATION IN MICRO-OPTICS ACROSS INDUSTRIES
From medical endoscopy to augmented reality, our 3D-printed lenses open up new
opportunities for advancement and efficiency. The flexibility and speed of production make
3D-printed micro-optics an attractive solution for companies and research institutions with
smaller quantities, as well as for large market players who want to equip their products
with individual optical components.
The production of the micro-optics, including the raw materials, is intended to take place exclusively in the heart of Europe, in the region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. This allows companies to have a sustainable production process with short and controlled supply chains, as well as short transportation routes
VISIT US AT THE COMPAMED IN DUSSELDORF
Visit us between November 11th and 14th in Düsseldorf at COMPAMED and learn more about our medical applications. Take a look at our optics through our microscopes and learn more about the series printing process of microoptics.
COMPAMED in Düsseldorf is a leading international trade fair for the medical technology supplier sector. It is held annually in Düsseldorf, Germany, and showcases the latest innovations and technologies in medical manufacturing, components, and services.
VISIT US AT THE PHOTONICS WEST (2024) IN SAN FRANCISCO
Visit us at Photonics West from January 28th to 30th, 2025. We will be exhibiting together with other innovative photonics companies at the joint booth of the German Ministry of Economics (German Pavilion). We will also have exciting information materials about our optics products in the areas of VR/AR solutions, endoscopy optics, semiconductor optics, or general information about our series printing for you. We look forward to January, see you soon.
