Micro engineering and micromolding polymer optics is one of the most challenging areas of our business.

Microsystems provide micro molding solutions ranging from multi-cavity optical molds with demanding toricity tolerances and high volume, to single cavity micro fresnel lenses with nanometer scale features.

Polymer Micro-Optics via Micro Injection Moulding

A wide range of polymer micro optics are now used in technically functional applications. Injection molded micro-lenses are used for miniature cameras in mobile phones, computer accessories, cars, and medical devices.

CD/DVD pickup units, sensors, and fibre-optics utilise polymer micro lenses and diffraction gratings. Lightguides with moulded microdot structures or gratings are used for display backlighting and front-lighting, and micro structured films for brightness enhancement and anti-glare applications are used in displays.
