Enabling the Revolution in Freeform Micro-Optics Through Collaboration

Freeform micro-optics have the capability to revolutionize industries. Utilizing the advantages of freeform optics in the small form factors of microlenses or microlens arrays is enabling miniaturization, cost reduction, energy reduction, and more. To start implementing freeform micro-optical components into systems, manufacturers often need to collaborate with multiple companies, such as optical design companies, originators, tooling companies, replications, and integrators. Plus, selecting the right material and ensuring quality control is critical. These are among the challenges that PHABULOuS is solving by creating an ecosystem that brings together all these capabilities in one place: the one-stop shop for the manufacturing of freeform micro-optics.
