Technical 3D Printing for Prototypes
Additive Manufacturing for Photonics and Medical Technology: From Concept to Functional Model.
In photonics, every micrometer counts—and in medical technology, every decision matters. Our technical 3D printing is engineered to meet these demands. At FOS Inon Fiber Optics, we utilize additive manufacturing not as a gimmick, but as a high-precision tool for real-world technological challenges.
Rapid Prototyping with Depth
The path from a CAD file to a functional prototype has never been faster, yet so meticulously planned. Whether creating functional 3D-printed prototypes for medical devices or complex photonic components, we enable iterative design in the shortest possible time. This is particularly crucial in the early stages of product development, where validation and optimization must go hand in hand.
Our prototypes demonstrate not only “form and fit” but also “function”: they are durable, dimensionally stable, and precise—ready for the next test setup.
Additive Manufacturing for Photonics
The requirements in the optical industry are complex—just like our solutions. Our 3D printing service produces mechanically and thermally stable structures with optical precision:
- Mounts for fiber optics
- Housings for miniaturized sensor technology
- Prototypes for integrated optical systems
We understand opto-mechanical design, not just printing technology. This enables us to develop photonic components where geometry, material selection, and function are perfectly coordinated.
3D Printing in Medical Technology
In the field of medical technology, we create patient-specific prototypes and components with high dimensional accuracy. This is ideal for:
- Functional design validation
- Surgical planning models
- Development of novel medical devices
Through our experience with materials, biocompatibility, and smooth surfaces, we hit the sweet spot between feasibility and medical relevance.
Our Specialty: 3D-Printed Sensor Housings
Sensitive optoelectronic sensor systems deserve tailor-made solutions. Our 3D-printed sensor housings combine protection, functionality, and a precise fit—even in confined installation spaces. This is particularly relevant in photonic measurement technology and for miniaturized light sources.
Why Choose Light Guides from FOS Inon Fiber Optics?
Quality “Made in Germany” pays off. Thanks to our proprietary manufacturing and testing processes, we offer custom solutions for numerous applications, from laboratories to aerospace.
Manufacturing Process
To ensure our light guides and fiber optic products meet the highest standards, we rely on a specialized manufacturing process. This allows us to guarantee exceptional chemical and tactile robustness so they can perform optimally in their respective environments. Precision is a critical factor in this, true to our motto: “Making the impossible happen.”
