With these new capabilities, the LUXeXceL process is ready to compete with injection molding for the production of small and mid-sized series of optical components. The company now offers a fast and effective service for prototyping, iterating and the manufacturing of optics, cutting out the need for costly and inflexible tooling.
Our Printoptical technology, a unique 3D printing process especially developed for the additive manufacturing of functional optics, has reached a new level.
The fully digital process, provides freedom for iteration, speed, accuracy and competitive pricing for both prototyping and small to medium volume manufacturing. LUXeXceL offers the world’s only additive manufacturing service that reaches the level of surface smoothness and optical clarity needed for functionality testing and series production. As a total package the manufacturing service is comparable to injection molding, and in some cases it even exceeds it.
Large upfront investment, long and slow throughput times, setting up milling machines or creating molds for series production, are all history!
A design is no longer limited to the restrictions of molding or long milling times, now the optics industry can benefit from all the advantages that 3D printing offers.
There is no longer the need to mass produce your optical components, you can customize and individually optimize your light distribution. And it does not end there. Transparent 3D printing allows for a whole range of innovative products to be developed.
