Photopia and SOLIDWORKS

The software has an integrated CAD system or, alternatively, it is available as an add-in for SOLIDWORKS®. With Photopia for SOLIDWORKS®, users are able to perform raytracing simulations directly on your assembly models. From adding lamps and assigning materials, to setting and viewing output, everything is done inside of SOLIDWORKS. Users maintain all the ease of working in SOLIDWORKS, with no need to learn another CAD program.

The software is designed for ‘dummies’, you don’t need an optical specialist to understand the software. Users can dive into a comprehensive library of  lamps and materials that are pre-defined by specialists, and the design tools to generate optical geometries based on specific design requirements, while getting the output conforms industry standards.
