3D Printing Optics Literature

Additive manufacturing – the layered deposition of optical resins – has opened up new possibilities in design, new approaches, and novel solutions for optical systems. This page provides an overview of various literature sources specifically written on the topic of 3D printing of optical components by industry insiders, aiming to help our users understand and adopt the possibilities with additive optics even faster.

Most of the works serve as a great introduction to newcomers to the field as well as a resource for experienced users. Some basic understanding of mathematics and basic knowledge of physics are the only prerequisites.

Here are some interesting works we can recommend:
