Save Months of Engineering Time

From optimization, verification, to sourcing, Photonium handles tedious manual work — letting your engineers focus on innovation instead of repetitive design tasks.

Drag & Drop Design

Intuitively place optical components with smart auto-arrangement based on optical design rules.

Auto-Generated Mechanics

Automatically create 3D mechanical structures to hold optics, following clearance and stability rules.

Real-Time Updates

Change a component and watch as CAD models, BOMs, and simulation files update automatically.

CAD Export

Export your entire setup as a CAD assembly ready for manufacturing with one click.

Automatic BOM

Generate Bills of Materials with supplier information and part numbers automatically.

Simulation Integration

Seamlessly export to Zemax OpticStudio for optical performance simulation.

Component Library

Access a vast library of optical components with auto-imported properties and specifications.

AI-Powered Optimization

Get intelligent recommendations for components based on performance, price, and availability.

Let Us Do the Heavy Liftingfor You

Your engineering team can design, iterate, and prepare for manufacturing in a single day, eliminating weeks of back-and-forth between optical and mechanical design.

1

Drag & Drop Components

Start by dragging pre-imported optical components like lenses, mirrors, and filters into your workspace.

2

Auto-Generate Mechanics

Photonium automatically creates the optimized placement and mechanical structures needed to hold your optics in place.

3

Iterate & Refine

Make changes and watch as your entire system updates in real-time, including beam simulations, CAD models and BOMs.

4

Export & Manufacture

Export your design as a complete CAD assembly ready for mechanical analysis or manufacturing.
