Optica Design and Fabrication Congress

This event highlights the use of modern design tools to reduce cost, augment manufacturability and enhance system performance. Hot topics for this congress include additive manufacturing of optical components; advanced freeform design and fabrication tools for both imaging and non-imaging systems; micro-optics, the use of metasurfaces and other flat optical component techniques in advanced optical systems and how AI and machine learning tools can help in all areas of design, fabrication and testing.

The design, fabrication and testing of optical components and optical systems plays an ever-increasing role in our modern society as more applications for optics are developed, especially in the areas of imaging, sensing and illumination systems. Discover how Europe leads the way in free-form micro-optics through a robust, collaborative value chain – from cutting-edge design and high-precision manufacturing to seamless integration and industrial scalability. This presentation highlights key players, capabilities, and success stories that demonstrate Europe’s unique position in driving innovation across industries.
