OPTICO Newsletter : Freeform surfaces in optics
Dear customers and partners,
We are pleased to present you with exciting information about freeform surfaces in optics in this newsletter. The development and production of freeform surfaces is an innovative step in the optics industry and offers you, our valued customers, a variety of benefits.
Freeform surfaces allow for a wider range of designs and customization options that conventional optical elements cannot offer. They open up new perspectives for complex geometric shapes that enable customized solutions for specific requirements – be it in medical technology, mechanical engineering or consumer electronics.
The precise production of free-form surfaces not only ensures improved light guidance and image quality, but also significantly increases efficiency in the production process. Technological advances in digitalization and automation enable us to produce free-form surfaces to the highest quality standards, optimizing both performance and production costs.
In this newsletter, we would like to introduce you to the versatile possibilities offered by free-form surfaces in three key areas: prisms, lenses and general applications. Discover the benefits of this advanced technology and get valuable tips on how to integrate freeform surfaces into your product range and increase your sales.
Chapter 1: Free-form surfaces on prisms
The use of free-form surfaces on prisms offers you a number of advantages:
– Optimized light control: Freeform surfaces can be designed to significantly improve light control. Precise adjustment of the surface shape minimizes stray light, resulting in clearer images and better colour rendition.
– Customization: With freeform technology, we can develop prisms that are precisely tailored to the needs of specific applications. This enables the creation of special solutions for a wide range of market requirements.
– Increased efficiency: Manufacturing freeform surfaces on prisms can optimize the production process and help maximize material utilization. This not only reduces waste, but also lowers costs. Benefit from a faster time to market and higher profit margins!
Chapter 2: Free-form surfaces on lenses
Free-form surfaces on lenses offer innovative possibilities that increase both performance and user-friendliness:
– Improved image quality: Optical aberrations can be significantly reduced through the targeted design of freeform surfaces. This results in sharper and higher contrast images, which is crucial for professional applications.
– Expanded functionality: Freeform technology allows us to develop multifunctional lenses that combine multiple optical functions in a single element. This versatility helps to open up new fields of application and optimize existing products.
– Competitive advantage: By introducing freeform surfaces into your lens designs, you can set yourself apart from the competition. Offer your customers cutting-edge technologies that improve performance while enhancing the user experience.
Chapter 3: General freeforms
The general application of freeforms in optics opens up numerous new possibilities for you as a company:
– Flexibility in design: Freeform technology makes it possible to realize a variety of shapes and designs that were not previously possible with conventional techniques. This means that you can develop innovative products that precisely meet the specific requirements of your market.
– Integration of new materials: Freeforms allow a wide range of materials to be processed, opening up new combinations and applications. Use this to create products that are lighter, stronger and more efficient.
– Sustainable manufacturing: Freeform manufacturing can also be made more sustainable. By reducing material waste and optimizing production processes, you actively contribute to environmental protection and strengthen your ecological profile in the market.
We are convinced that free-form surfaces in optics not only improve the quality and versatility of your products, but can also contribute significantly to higher sales figures. Contact us to find out more about how freeform technology can add value to your business!
