Netherlands-based Luxexcel is a pioneer of 3D print<\/a>ed lenses. The company\u2019s proprietary technology\u2014first developed over a decade ago\u2014stands on a strong foundation of optic, material, process and, of course, 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> expertise. Today, Luxexcel remains the only company to have developed a 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> process for creating prescription lenses.<\/p>\n

Despite having carved out its own niche in the ophthalmic lenses market, the innovative company is also forging new avenues for its 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> technology. Recently, the company has made something of a smart<\/a> decision\u2014pardon the pun\u2014by making inroads into the smart glasses segment. Though smart<\/a>glasses have faced hurdles in terms of their adoption, Luxexcel\u2019s 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> is uniquely positioned to enable technology companies to make the wearable devices viable for a broader consumer<\/a> market.<\/p>\n

To learn more about this opportunity and illuminate how Luxexcel\u2019s technology fits into the emerging smart glasses trend, we caught up with Luxexcel CEO Fabio Esposito.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Luxexcel VisionPlatform<\/h2>\n

Before focusing on how Luxexcel has the potential to breathe new life into the smart<\/a>glasses market, we have to first look at the company\u2019s technology. The VisionPlatform\u2122 is Luxexcel\u2019s turnkey solution for 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> ophthalmic lenses, and comprises hardware, software and proprietary materials.<\/p>\n

Fabio Esposito, CEO of Luxexcel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cLuxexcel has developed a unique 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> technology to manufacture lenses for eyewear and smart<\/a> glasses,\u201d Esposito says. \u201cThe technology, based on proprietary printer hardware, software, process and ink materials, provides a complete solution for printing lenses, adding prescriptions and integrating smart<\/a> functionalities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 3D print<\/a>er itself is an inkjet-based system that is capable of producing lenses without the need for supports or any post-processing. As Esposito explains, the printed lenses can simply be \u201csnapped into a frame once printing is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n

Materials and software are the other puzzle pieces. \u201cThe proprietary consumable material\u2014Luxexcel VisionClear\u2122\u2014has been formulated to create transparent objects, ideal for producing lenses worn today by people around the world,\u201d Esposito explains. \u201cOur solution is completed by VisionMaster\u2122 software, which controls the material deposition\u2014billions of droplets precisely positioned\u2014to form lenses with or without prescription.\u201d<\/p>\n

The VisionPlatform\u2122 is already in use in Europe and the United States. In fact, the company recently celebrated a milestone for its technology, with its customers surpassing the production of 50,000 lenses, destined for the traditional and smart<\/a> eyewear markets as well as high tech industries.<\/p>\n

Glasses, but smart<\/a><\/h2>\n

Despite the technology having existed for some years, smart<\/a>glasses have so far failed to reallyreach consumer<\/a> acceptance. Among the main reasons we don\u2019t see people walking around donning Google glasses or other AR lenses is design: existing smart<\/a>glasses tend to be bulky, which in turn make them unfashion<\/a>able. Many have argued that they are, to put it bluntly, ugly. Another hurdle that smart<\/a> eyewear developers have had to contend with is the fact that a significant percentage of the world\u2019s population need prescription lenses. Luxexcel\u2019s 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> technology can solve all of these issues for smart<\/a>glasses manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Esposito elaborates: \u201cTech companies need to bring to market smart<\/a>glasses for consumer<\/a>s that look like everyday glasses. Our 3D print<\/a>ing<\/a> allows them to embed a smart<\/a> device directly into a 3D print<\/a>ed lens. Thanks to this capability, the eyewear is thinner, with an estimated 50% reduction in overall weight compared to legacy lenses. At the same time, the smart<\/a> device is also protected by the lens material, creating a rugged, dust-resistant and waterproof solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy contrast, most traditional lens-making methods would require gluing or other fixing techniques. They also need to be operating at high temperatures to fabricate smart<\/a>glasses. Traditionally, you would start<\/a> with a lens, which you would then need to modify to attach the smart<\/a> device. At Luxexcel, we have eliminated this assembly step and simplified the whole manufacturing process.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately, during the printing process, our technology enables the seamless integration, or encapsulation, of smart<\/a> devices into the prescription lenses. Devices such as waveguides, holographic foils, flexible displays, active filters, liquid crystal technology, etc,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A trillion-dollar opportunity<\/h2>\n

The still-developing smart<\/a> eyewear market, which has evolved (and stuttered) over the past decade, is expected to grow into a $1+ trillion opportunity\u2014with a CAGR of 42.9% from 2020 to 2030 (Research and Markets<\/i>). Luxexcel not only aims to be a part<\/a> of this growing market, it plans to play an integral role in the segment\u2019s growth thanks to its scalable solution for printing smart<\/a> prescription lenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our path to smart<\/a> eyewear, we identified three major pillars: the ability to print commercially-viable prescription lenses, the ability to produce them at scale and, finally, the ability to embed smart<\/a> devices into said lenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Luxexcel executive, the company has already achieved the first two pillars. Luxexcel attained quality acceptance for its printed lenses as well as general market acceptance for custom lenses. Since reaching this first goal (in the form of ISO, ANSI and FDA certifications), the company has been working with its customers as well as internally to achieve volume production. As we saw last December, the VisionPlatform\u2019s production scale was demonstrated when Luxexcel reached production of over 50k commercial lenses.<\/p>\n

The goal today is therefore to meet the third pillar: to seamlessly integrate smart<\/a> devices into its 3D print<\/a>ed prescription lenses. The way Esposito sees it, the ability to offer prescription smart<\/a>glasses is imperative to the technology\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is estimated that 70% of the adult population needs vision correction to see their best and function in every work and life,\u201d he says. \u201cBy 2030, it is estimated that 8\/10 will need some kind of vision correction. In short, many of the people that want to use smart<\/a>glasses will need prescription lenses. Smart<\/a> and vision correction was therefore a must<\/i> for Luxexcel to enable the manufacturing of smart<\/a>glasses. As you can see there is a convergence of health and tech happening. At Luxexcel we are uniquely positioned to enable it. We can print custom prescription lenses while integrating smart<\/a> devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

WaveOptics part<\/a>nership<\/h2>\n

Luxexcel is already taking tangible steps in the smart<\/a> eyewear market. Most recently, it revealed a collaboration with WaveOptics, a designer and manufacturer of waveguides and light engines. Together, the companies are developing a module that integrates all three components needed for augmented reality (AR) smart<\/a>glasses: the 3D print<\/a>ed prescription lens, waveguide and projector.<\/p>\n

The AR lenses will be fabricated using Luxexcel\u2019s jetting technology and will directly embed the waveguide into their curved, transparent structure. The 3D print<\/a>ed lens will also function as a mounting for the projector and can reportedly ensure perfect alignment in an optical module. Finally, the prescriptions can be printed on the lens and can be tailored to the wearer\u2019s needs. According to Esposito, the smart<\/a>glasses module will be unveiled on March 18th 2021, at the SPIE AR, VR, MR Fireside Chat. Prototype samples will become available as soon as Q2 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working on projects together with large companies to develop the next generation of smart<\/a> glasses. So stay tuned for more,\u201d Esposito concludes.<\/p>\n
