Our Project Process

How it works?​

Our project review process is designed to ensure that every aspect of your project meets the highest standards of quality, precision, and performance. Here’s how we conduct our thorough project review:

How we work with clients:

From concept validation to analysis to design and production, every optical engineering project is different and based on your specific application area.

But these are typical stages of a project program:

Project Review: Discuss your project requirements, goals, and specifications to establish a clear foundation.

Concept Development: Paper design, simulations, and block diagrams for optics, mechanics, and electronics are created.

Design: Comprehensive design services, including optical, electronics, embedded software, mechanical design, and manufacturing documentation.

Prototyping: Prototype manufacturing and assembly are performed to create initial versions of the product for testing and evaluation.

Testing: Lens and subsystem testing, system debugging, experimental measurements, and prototype delivery..

Production Support: Developing quality control processes and delivering the system at volume.
