3D Print Lenses
Custom optical lens printing for freeform optics, gradient-index elements, and micro-lens arrays. Geometries impossible to grind — produced in photopolymer and glass-like materials with transmittance >92%.

Freeform & Aspheric Lenses
Non-rotationally symmetric freeform optics printed via multi-material inkjet. Corrects for off-axis aberrations in compact optical systems. Used in augmented reality waveguides, head-mounted displays, and automotive LIDAR systems.
Gradient-Index (GRIN) Optics
Refractive index gradient printed continuously through lens volume — no discrete layers. Planar GRIN elements performing the optical function of curved surfaces. Enables flat, thin lens systems for endoscopy and wearable imaging.
Micro-Lens Arrays
Regular and irregular micro-lens array production via nano-DLP. Lenslet diameters from 50µm to 5mm. Used for light field cameras, solar concentrators, beam homogenization, and display diffusion.
Printable Optical Polymers
Optical performance begins with material selection — refractive index, Abbe number, and transmission bandwidth define the lens specification.
- NOA61 (n=1.56) — general purpose UV-cure optic
- High-RI polymer (n=1.65) — compact lens design
- PMMA-equivalent — broadband visible transmission
- Silicone optical grade — soft contact and wearable optics
- Gradient-index photopolymer — GRIN element production
- Glass-like optical ceramic — thermally stable IR optics
