We design and manufacture custom textured optical surfaces with optional frosted, matte, or glossy finishes, combining functional light manipulation with decorative visual effects through Printoptical® 3D printing. These textured optics are often applied in packaging, brand design, and experiential lighting solutions.
Offering Description
Our textured surfaces are designed at the macro- and micro-scale to produce distinctive optical effects such as scattering, branding highlights, or surface aesthetics. They allow product designers to merge performance with visual identity in a single transparent component. Unlike secondary finishing processes, textures are built directly into the 3D printed surface, enabling rapid customization and repeatable results. This makes them especially valuable for consumer products, packaging, and lighting applications.
