• 3DOptix Releases Open, Cloud-based Optical Design and Simulation Softwa

    From Anastasius Gruen@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 7 07:31:39 2020
    The Future of Optical Design. 3DOptix has launched a free, cloud-based optical design and simulation platform - no installation is needed - the software runs on a standard browser. The platform provides remote access to a virtual lab with optomechanics,
    lasers and detectors. Both professionals and students can run an optical simulation with off-the-shelf optical components from leading vendors or any customized optical elements.

    The optical design and simulation platform was developed from a deep need to reduce the multiple trial and error iteration in the lab among scientists, researchers and engineers in the optics community.

    Beta Platform opened

    Currently, the beta platform has about 1,000 users, more than 20,000 optical elements from 15 different vendors available in the database, and off-the-shelf optomechanics with built-in mechanical functionalities. All products are ready for simulation and
    mounting. Once the optical design has gone through the simulation phase, the implementation in the lab becomes straightforward and easy with a simulated optomechanical blueprint. Additionally, users can generate 2D sketches for an article or a paper
    directly from the platform.

    "3DOptix is changing the way scientists, researchers, and engineers design and simulate the implementation of optical prototypes and setups. We are very excited to bring an innovative cloud platform with enhanced simulation features combined with
    accessibility and ease of use. Our users can run a complete optical simulation in a short time and share the design with their friends and colleagues, and make smart procurement decisions before they go into the lab," says Gil Noy, 3DOptix CEO

    3DOptix is open for beta testing. Please apply by sending an email to info@3doptix.com or visit our website at https://design.3doptix.com/ and register. As we are overwhelmed with requests to join our beta testing, it might take a few days to approve the
    application.

    About 3DOptix

    3DOptix started the online optical design and simulation platform to get more done in a frictionless remote environment. Our easy reliable and innovative optical cloud platform provides optical CAD Design, simulations, and widgets services. 3DOptix helps
    optical designers create better designs with higher efficiency and a clear path to implementation.

    Founded in 2017, 3DOptix is a spin-off company from the Femto-Nano laboratory at Tel Aviv University and is headquartered in Holon, Israel.

    So how do you folks plan to make your money?

    From their online catalog, I bet the optical design package is
    intended to help sell their optical breadboard components.

    I would not be surprised if users also unwittingly licence their
    designs to 3DOptix. Some online 3D CAD programs do exactly that.
    Academics may not care, especially if it's the students that will use
    the software.

    They mention a patent, which turns out to be optical, and not about
    optical design software: <https://3doptix.com/blogs/news/exlusive-license-agreement>

    I'm not at all against folks making money--I try to do the same
    myself--but I really want to hear about the value proposition these guys
    are offering. The tools sound great, as far as that goes--if the biz is
    on the level, it might well be worth spending eome time with them.

    I quite agree. Can't say I love the website.

    I had the same question, but their demo video showed optical
    components and a breadboard that I didn't look like anything I recall,
    and that told me where to look. I suspectonly one component of that
    catalog is built so far. Give them a few years.
