Fabrication Export

For the design of various optical components, like freeform surfaces, HOEs or DOEs, an important step in the workflow is the export of the generated data for subsequent manufacturing. In the examples below we show that VirtualLab Fusion can export fabrication data for smooth as well as for quantized surfaces in various different data formats, which are commonly used by manufacturing techniques like 3D printing, computer-aided manufacturing or lithographic exposure techniques.

Export of Fabrication Data of a Holographic Optical Element (HOE)

VirtualLab Fusion can export quantized HOE structures into various file formats. It is possible to characterize the surface information for the export as a pixelated height profile or, conversely, as a set of polygons that describe the three-dimensional surface.

Export of Fabrication Data for Smooth Surface

VirtualLab Fusion can export smooth surfaces into various file formats, like STL and other customized formats.
