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 landscape is more complex, with a wider variety of materials, geometries, and design requirements. Additionally, optical engineers are increasingly seeking more advanced optics that push the boundaries of conventional prototyping capabilities.

At Optimax, we’ve earned a reputation for tackling the most demanding optical prototyping challenges, delivering laser-grade optics and R&D solutions for engineers across various industries.
