Luxexcel Group
Luxexcel is a 3D printing service for custom optics that demand the highest standard in transparency. We have invented the Printoptical© Technology, a revolutionary and globally unique digital additive manufacturing process to create optical components like, micro structures, freeform lenses, arrays, prisms, fresnel’s or other complex decorative designed (optical) surfaces.
This innovative and patented process allows us to offer optical designers around the globe a new and unique 3D printing service for rapid prototyping of custom optics.
3D Printing Services and Products:
Today our service is focused on the global lighting industry with on demand functional prototyping and the manufacturing of illumination optics. We also supply lenses and optical structures for other applications that require PMMA based type optics.
With additive manufacturing we enable new design options and even new optical functions to customize the light distribution.
Our R&D team works closely with leading companies in the field of optical software, material development, printer-hardware and research institutes.
Luxexcel's printing capabilities and service are continuously improving.
Luxexcel is headquartered in Kruiningen, the Netherlands.
