CAD Integration Opens Up Optical Design Possibilities

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The next step beyond interoperability: Integrating optical design with CAD software enables virtual prototyping and information sharing throughout the design and production process.

Jean-Baptiste Haumonte and Jean-Claude Venturino, Optis

The worlds of computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing and engineering have gradually welcomed simulation tools enabling the modeling of mechanics, machining, thermal effects, motion dynamics, vibration and acoustic phenomena, but until now optical simulation has been left to evolve independently. And yet this information-sharing opportunity gives engineers the chance to participate in a broad collaborative work space, considerably raising their level of knowledge about the system they are designing. They can produce unlimited virtual prototypes that enable them to simulate multiple...Read full article
