LUXeXceL to Invest in 3D Printing Factory for LED Optics

Optical component additive manufacturer LUXeXceL Group has announced its investment in a 3D printing factory dedicated to manufacturing LED lighting optics.

Housing and equipment installation have already begun, a company press release states. Production is predicted to begin later in 2014. This facility is located near the company’s headquarters in Goes, Netherlands.

LUXeXceL is the creator of its own one step “CAD-to-Optic” 3D printing process, where optical components are printed smooth and do not need post processing.

“We are excited  to open this new facility,” said Richard van de Vrie, founder and CEO of LUXeXceL. “We are changing the way optics are designed, produced, and now digitally stored. Our new printers will enable us to print very precise LED lighting optics and will allow us to jet new optical materials. This increases the design capabilities we offer to optical designers and enables the LED Industry to customize per application, project or even single product .”
