Where to Buy Prototype Building and Testing

Optical prototyping, i.e. the optomechanical construction of the prototype and the development of its electronics, takes place at Technologie Manufaktur parallel to the work on the breadboard in the laboratory. For this reason, there is usually not much time between construction of the demonstrator and completion of the prototype.

Our well-equipped workshop allows us to build the prototype quickly, adjust it precisely and to measure its performance. We can carry out MTF measurements on lenses, measure the surfaces of optical elements interferometrically and record spectra from UV to near-infrared. We use a flow box for dust-free production. The mechanical means required for the prototype are manufactured in the workshops of our suppliers.

Avantier provides quick optical prototype solutions that reduce product development life-cycles and enable rapid prototyping. This is crucial for devices, instruments, and platforms that rely on optics and imaging, especially with the introduction of new technologies. Faster prototyping leads to faster time-to-market, which is essential for our customers.

Shanghai Optics offers rapid optical prototype solutions. Reducing custom optical product life-cycles and delivering true rapid prototyping is critical to the success of devices, instruments, and platforms that rely on optics and imaging. With new technologies being introduced at such lightning speed, decreasing the time it takes to develop prototypes has become a necessity. The faster customers can prototype, the faster a product can get to market. Depending on the customer’s timeline and sourcing requirements, Shanghai Optics (S.O.) different solutions and resources to quickly create solutions and optimize the speed of prototyping for our customers.
