Luxexcel

Luxexcel 3D develops production technology for 3D printed lenses, which are manufactured with a proprietary photopolymer material jetting process and do not require polishing. Its technology is primarily targeted at mass production of customized ophthalmic lenses for the encapsulation of waveguides and/or other optical technologies in smart glasses. Volume production of 3D printed prescription lenses has been proven by the firm and demonstrators of 3D printed waveguide lens encapsulation have been shown off. Luxexcel is headquartered in Eindhoven, NL.

Addoptics

Addoptics is a Rotterdam-based company that uses 3D printed molds to produce cast resin reflective and refractive optics. This process enables complex optic geometries, allows quick turnarounds for prototyping and is scalable to small production runs.
