By making use of the Luxexcel 3D printing platform, smooth optical components and transparent products can be printed with high accuracy. The patented Printoptical Technology works for both prototyping and small to midsize series manufacturing. Optical elements can be ordered online and will be ready for shipment within 5 working days.

Richard van de Vrie, President and Founder of Luxexcel is very excited with the Excellence in the Field of Environmental Technology Commercialisation Award: "By being named as winner the freedom and flexibility of optics manufacturing, that is made possible by our 3D printing technology, is recognized. It changes the way optics are manufactured and will contribute to a more efficient use of our environmental resources.
