Opdo, the first AI optics platform and recognized expert in volumetric 3D printing for optics, has partnered with Luximprint, the pioneer of 3D printed optics, to create a seamless bridge from intelligent optical design to digital manufacturing. Together, the companies are transforming how optical systems are conceived, developed, and brought to market — unlocking a new level of speed and agility for the optics industry.
From AI-Driven Design to Digital Fabrication
Opdo’s AI Optics Platform allows engineers to define optical intent through natural language. Its AI agents generate, simulate, and optimize fully manufacturable designs within minutes. Now, with the integration of Luximprint Printoptical® technology, those designs can move directly into production — establishing a complete digital workflow from concept to finished component.
“Opdo lets engineers describe what they want to achieve with light — and AI handles the rest,” says Stephan Kuehr, Founder and CEO of Opdo. “By adding Luximprint’s proven manufacturing technology, we connect AI design with digital fabrication in a way that fundamentally changes how optical products are developed.”
“The first AI optics platform, now joined by the pioneer of 3D printed optics — delivering a true digital end-to-end workflow where design and fabrication happen in days, not months.“
opdo and Luximprint: Uniting Two Pioneers in Optical Innovation
Luximprint’s advanced optical 3D printing process produces optical-grade surfaces directly from digital files, eliminating tooling and accelerating turnaround. Combined with Opdo’s AI-driven design and simulation capabilities — and its deep expertise in volumetric optics fabrication — the partnership delivers unprecedented creative freedom and manufacturing efficiency across scales and applications.
“We’re excited to bring our Printoptical process to the Opdo platform,” says Marco de Visser, CEO of Luximprint. “This collaboration connects two complementary innovations — AI design and digital manufacturing — enabling custom optics to move from vision to physical reality faster than ever before.”
A Digital Fabrication Collective for the Future of Light
At the manufacturing end, Luximprint joins a growing ecosystem on the Opdo platform that includes leading volumetric and microfabrication technologies such as Xolography and Nanoscribe. Together, they form a powerful digital fabrication collective covering everything from freeform and illumination optics to advanced microstructures — offering optical engineers a complete, data-driven design-to-production environment.
