OPTICAL DESIGN SERVICES AND PRICING

Snap designs come with fixed rates that depend on optical system properties - Just find the numerical aperture and half field of view from the chart on the right.

All our designs include tolerancing analysis optimized for minimum tolerances.

• Green: 695€, delivery in five working days³.
• Yellow: 995€, delivery in ten working days³.
• White: Not yet available as a fixed-rate Snap design.
• COTS CAD mount designs: +595€ and +3 working days³.

Best value for lighter projects and when time is of the essence!

Let us know about your project! With our free customized quote based on the severity of the system, you may budget ahead without fearing costs from surprises or delays. You can explore several design possibilities, complete optical analysis, optimized mechanical tolerancing and full plans easily integrateable to your existing CAD designs. We provide online support for the entire development cycle, even after invoicing is complete.

Plan is limited to a single project. Project may have its initial parameters and conditions changed as long as the nature and scope of the application remains.

Our services include those listed in the subscription-based plans section below.

For a customized quote and services, contact us in full confidentiality about your service needs.

Best value when your project is defined and ready to enter development.

We offer also subscription plans with service tiers you can best fit for your needs. You can have an experienced on-duty optical designer with fully equipped and licenced workstation at your service instantly, as long as is needed for an unlimited number of photonics-related projects³.

Majority of our industrial projects can be completed within the scope of the Essential package. Collaboration with scientific and training projects are best met with the Premium package, and Elite package is taylor-made for frictionless and intensive localized projects¹. Plans can be expanded with additional hourly cost of 175 €/h (applied to the expansion package and its use only).

The validity period of monthly plans start as agreed, and are cancelled automatically at the end of the minimum period. It can be continued seamlessly with just a written approval. We will keep you updated on the status. Upgrading to the next tier is possible with a notice, and without complete contract renewal. You may also downgrade the service plan whenever, and the remaining validity period of the previous tier will be compensated on a day basis.

Most flexible for multiple simultaneous tasks, responsibilities and projects.
