  • Offering type
    ?
    PRODUCT:

    Component or system, which is commercialized. It is available for ordering multiple pieces and liability is assumed by the provider/seller. Necessary certification of the product was obtained (e.g. CE certification). The product sheet and/or conditions of use are defined.

    PROTOTYPE:

    Component or system, which has been successfully tested under real or real-like conditions. The prototype is not commercialized as the main purpose is to use it for demonstration and experimentation, including user and market acceptance.

    TECHNICAL SERVICE:

    Tools and processes and its combination, which are necessary to prepare and test prototypes or products.

Preferred Supplier
JOANNEUM RESEARCH offers rapid prototyping of complex 3D plastic optical components using patented technology. This process combines sub-microstructures with 3D optics to enable innovative applications in optoelectronics, robotics, and more, supporting miniaturization, system integration, and cost reduction.

Offering Description

With our patented technology we can fabricate submicrostructures on 3D macro (Planar and non-planar, curved) optics to obtain new optical effects and functionalities. This leads to numerous innovative applications, for example in

  • Optoelectronics
  • Photonics
  • image processing sensors
  • machine vision
  • robotics
  • motion control systems

The combination of different optical functions on one single element can contribute significantly to

  • miniaturization of optical components
  • better integration into systems
  • at lower cost

Offering Specifications

We can offer our customers:

  • Modelling: Optical design of one or more novel complex 3D optical components based on the concept of micro on 3D macro’.
  • Additive manufacturing of 3D macro elements by 3D-printing
  • Mastering: Efficient fabrication of (sub-) microstructures on top of non-planar surfaces on a centimetre scale by means of mask-less laser lithography
  • Rapid prototyping: low-cost fabrication of a highly precise optical 3D sample (plastic optical element made of only one material with a surface roughness Ra~ 5 nm) by vacuum resin casting for quick and flexible testing and implementing design changes
