Prototype Optics

Breakthrough optical technologies require an agile approach to prototyping, production, and delivery. Optimax is known for pioneering rapid production of high-quality prototype optics with quick turnaround times. During the 1990s, we were known as the “FedEx of Optics” and we aim to preserve that spirit today, applying our highly robust processes to the complex optical systems of today.

What is Rapid Optical Prototyping?

Prototype optics stem from the drive to generate one-of-a-kind optics. Small volume production of high-quality prototypes was the logical next step, with contracting product life cycles requiring quicker development processes. Today’s prototyping is more challenging given the greater range of production factors, including materials required, geometries, and overall design requirements. Additionally, optical engineers increasingly need more challenging optics that test the limits of conventional optical prototyping capacity. At Optimax, we have built a reputation for taking on the most challenging optical prototyping tasks, delivering laser grade optics and R&D solutions for engineers in a range of market sectors.
