Organized by SPIE Optics + Photonics, the 3D printing conference encompasses a wide range of topics
3D Printing Speeds Up Optics Manufacturing MAKING MICRO-OPTICS IN ONE STEP. Whereas traditionally the manufacture of optical components was carried out through a laborious - and often inefficient - milling technique, modern 3D printing methods have boosted the speed and flexibility of the process. By adding layers of a cured resin until a shape is
SSL Expert Panel to Discuss Advanced Manufacturing of LED Lighting Luminaires The DOE SSL Expert Panel Sessions of September 2021, part of two series of meetings covering topics in LED materials and devices, lighting science, products, and manufacturing, were an excellent platform to discuss the latest in additive manufacturing for lighting systems design, manufacture, and
The 3D Printing Revolution For thousands of years, manufacturing has been guided by the same principle. We take a block of material, machine, carve or chisel remove access material from it until we get to the final shape of the product we want to create. It is not much different from a hunter, way back in
