Overview

• Blurred tomography allows for the rapid production of microlenses with commercial-grade optical quality.
• The new method produces lenses ready for use in just 30 minutes, streamlining the manufacturing process.
• Custom projection lenses blur light to create smoother surfaces, eliminating the need for post-processing.
• This technique could revolutionize the design of optical devices by enabling complex, freeform optics.
• Researchers aim to automate the process further, enhancing its viability for widespread commercial application.
