The Eindhoven company Luxexcel has received an investment of four million euros from Innovation Industries, a Dutch investment fund. The investment enables Luxexcel to accelerate the next-gen development of its 3D printing platform for prescription lenses for use in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality applications<\/p>\n

The company is developing the technology for 3D ophthalmic lenses. This technology can be used in AR and VR glasses, says Hans Streng, CEO of Luxexcel. \u201cAR\/VR applications have become a hot topic in the industry.\u00a0 We add the ability to 3D-print ophthalmic-quality prescription lenses to these applications. This enables the AR\/VR headset manufacturers to offer fully personalized smart eyewear in an attractive frame design.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May, the company announced that it received an investment of 8,5 million euro. With that investment, the first industrial-grade 3D printing platforms will be installed this year in the USA and Europe. Nard Sintenie, Founding Partner at Innovation Industries BV talks about the investment: \u201cWe believe that with the technology of Luxexcel it will be possible to combine AR\/VR applications with RX eye correction, which is an essential component in bringing smart eyewear to the mainstream market. We are excited about leveraging the high-tech network in the Netherlands to enable this unique breakthrough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
