Freeform optical elements give optical designers new and exciting degrees of freedom when it comes to designing optics for illumination applications. These same freeform elements can also add a new layer of complexity to the design process due to added degrees of freedom.
The system achieves higher deposition rates than previously possible, and could apply to the automotive lighting or VR/AR sectors
