In the field of LED optical design, choosing the right design and simulation tools is crucial to project success. As a company specializing in custom LED lens design, Asahi's optical engineers flexibly utilize software such as TracePro, LightTools, DiaLux, and SolidWorks, we ensure precision, efficiency, and performance in every project.Based on customer needs, we not only optimize optical performance but also ensure product reliability and consistency in real-world applications.
DiaLux – Lighting Design & Real-World Visualization
Advantage: Excellent for visualizing lighting performance in real-world environments and meeting compliance standards.
Limitation: Primarily focused on lighting layouts rather than complex optical component design.
Note: This method is suitable for effect estimation in the early stages of a project, but needs to be combined with more accurate software for secondary verification.
LightTools – Comprehensive Optical Design & Optimization
Advantage: Strong in optical system optimization with flexible modeling capabilities.
Limitation: Steeper learning curve for new users.
Note: Making good use of the optimization function can significantly reduce manual debugging time.
SolidWorks – Mechanical-Optical Integration
Advantage: Powerful for integrating mechanical design with optical components for manufacturability.
Limitation: Not specialized in optical simulation without additional plugins.
Note: When modeling, the import compatibility of subsequent optical analysis software must be considered.
TracePro – Precision in Optical Simulation
Advantage: Exceptional accuracy in ray tracing and light analysis, ideal for simulating complex optical systems.
Limitation: Requires significant computational power for large-scale simulations.
Note: Highly accurate material parameter and surface property definitions are required to obtain reliable results.
Key Considerations in Optical Design
When working with these tools, our engineers pay close attention to:
- Beam angle optimization for targeted illumination.
- Light uniformity to ensure consistent brightness.
- Material selection to achieve the right refractive and thermal properties.
- Manufacturing feasibility to balance performance and cost-effectiveness.
In the field of optical design, tools are merely a means to an end; it's the engineer's expertise and experience that truly determine the outcome.
Asahi engineers not only master professional design software but also possess extensive experience in optical design, enabling them to deliver integrated, customized solutions from optical design to structural modeling to lighting verification.
