OpticsBuilder Case Study

“Using an OpticsBuilder file (.ZBD) to manage design changes between our optical and mechanical engineers makes our prototype analysis 20 to 30 times faster and eliminates the possibility of redesign errors.”

View Case Study

OPTIX JSC manufactures a full range of optical devices and systems for army and law enforcement officials. It's a shared goal within the optics manufacturing industry to reduce product and design development time while maintaining product integrity and quality.For OPTIX JSC, this meant taking a closer look at the collaboration among engineers, designers, and computer-aided design (CAD) users to incorporate a better system that would streamline product and design development more efficiently.

OPTIX JSC effectively integrated Zemax OpticsBuilder and Zemax OpticStudio to accelerate and optimize product and design scheme development.

  • Easily convert and transfer optical designs, files, and workloads for more seamless collaboration among team members.
  • Reduced product and design scheme development time and costs while improving efficiency with fewer late-stage redesign or errors.

What can OpticsBuilder do for you?

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 fromAnsys Zemax OpticStudio.

Stoning Simulation
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.
