Nanoscribe - Additively manufactured 3D Micro-Optics and MLA for AR/VR applications with highly transparent resin in VIS and UV

Advances in additive manufacturing enable the rapid design, prototyping, and functional testing of complex 3D micro-optics and microlens arrays (MLAs) directly on active devices. This talk will present Nanoscribe’s systems capabilities fabricating such components using highly transparent materials like IPX Clear (>98% transmission in VIS and UV), ideal for RGB applications. The workflow will be illustrated through the development of a fly-eye MLA-based homogenizer, from optical design to direct 3D printing, followed by examples of transitioning to scalable mass production via nanoimprint lithography (NIL). Additional examples of freeform micro-optics which can be used for AR/VR applications will be shown, concluding with an outlook on how these capabilities accelerate development cycles for next-generation display systems.
