Investigation of Diffractive Structure Designs through Printoptical® Technology Abstract A next research has been recently published on realizing diffractive optics structures for various application areas such as in reality displays, integrated circuits and illumination. The current advancement in additive manufacturing allows rapid prototyping of diffractive structures at low cost within short time and little material [...]
3D Printing Speeds Up Optics Manufacturing Whereas the traditional manufacture of optical components was carried out mainly through conventional milling technologies, today's novel 3D printing methods have significantly increased the speed and flexibility of the overall making process. By adding successive layers of a UV or thermally-cured resin until a given shape is complete, developers [...]
Large Format Optical Textures and Light Guides We are delighted to announce the availability of large format, 3D printed optical light guiding plates and textures. Whereas the availability of the services on its own is not new, recent technology optimizations have taken the feasibility and versatility of manufacturing for large format optics in particular [...]
Provinciale Staten Zeeland Honors Luximprint with a Company Visit To stress its commitment and interest with the local entrepreneurial community, a delegation of the Provinciale Staten (PS) of the Zeeland province, Netherlands, took the opportunity to visit the ‘Luximprint Creative Factories’ today. The PS delegation was accompanied by representatives of Gemeente Kapelle, the local [...]
The Curious Lighting Exhibition When it comes to introducing and showcasing new products and features, times dominated by COVID ask for creative solutions that respect the established guidelines. Events in the lighting industry for the operational year and beyond got canceled, with - best-case - limited online follow-up in place. To counter it and [...]
