Zemax – Optical Workflow & Design Software
Empower optical and mechanical teams to work together efficiently. Design exceptional optical products with faster manufacturing and time to market.
Get everything you need to simulate, optimise, and tolerance your optical designs. Design high-confidence virtual prototypes that you can thoroughly analyse before manufacturing.
What can OpticsBuilder do for you?
Get optical products to market faster
Flawlessly convert lens design data into native CAD to build optical designs faster with fewer errors. Create ISO-compliant optical drawings at the push of a button. Easily see mechanical impacts on optical performance and maintain design quality throughout the packaging process.
- Faster time-to-market
- Analyse mechanical impact
- Eliminate costly re-work
- Optimise for manufacturing
Design mechanical structures around optical components in minutes using the exact optical component data through convert and build into native CAD. Avoid errors and costly rework by using dynamic ray tracing in CAD to analyze the impact of mechanical components on optical integrity. Save time by automatically filling optical manufacturing data into CAD drawings pulled directly from Ansys Zemax OpticStudio.
Convert and build into CAD
Save hours spent recreating optics in CAD. Enable CAD users to automatically convert and build lens design data from OpticStudio, including lens materials, positions, sources, wavelengths, and detectors into native CAD parts and assemblies.
Analyse optomechanical packaging
Avoid surprises by catching and correcting errors during initial optomechanical product design. Easily run ray tracing in CAD to analyse how mechanical packaging impacts the optical performance.
Automatically create optical drawings
Share ISO 10110 compliant optical drawings with a push of a button using an automatic optical drawing design export tool that even works with your own custom drawing templates.
