POLYMICRO - A Virtual European Center for the Industry

摘要

POLYMICRO Competence Centre supports industry by opening up the high value market of custom specific micro-optics in polymers. These services have been offered to the European industry in form of a EUROPRACTICE Competence Center for the last 3 years. Interesting new optical components have been developed and introduced onto the market in this time. Significant benefit in reduction of development cost and time-to-market could also be achieved. Now this supported network will be transformed into a service for industry. Experience gained in the last years call for a broadening of the activities, expanding from the present offered micro-optical components by the Competence Center core members towards complex micro-optical systems, with additional partners. The new POLYMICRO-CC will then be a pool of competent partners to design, to prototype, as well as to manufacture complex micro-opotical systems.
