Lambda-X: How Additive Manufacturing contributes to a competitive edge

About Lambda-X

Since 2005, Lambda-X has been a frontrunner in wavefront technology systems for the ophthalmic industry. As these systems must meet the most stringent requirements, it is essential to rely on specialised suppliers who can provide services and production techniques that match these specific needs.

High-complexity/Low-volume needs

The ophthalmic systems are a textbook example of a high‑complexity, low‑volume market in which the benefits of additive manufacturing can truly thrive.

For development projects, Lambda‑X benefits from the short lead times for delivering prototypes enabled by additive manufacturing, allowing fast and efficient design and testing iterations.

During the entire life cycle of a part, design adjustments can be implemented with minimal impact on lead times and without additional tooling investment. Consequently, design changes can be rapidly incorporated into subsequent production orders.

The fit with series production

Mass customisation makes it possible to produce customised or modular components tailored to specific applications.

Ordering parts in variable quantities enables forecasts and stock levels to be more closely aligned with market demand, reducing inventory investment.

Our team is proud to be a trusted production partner of Lambda X for specific parts such as dust covers, housings, indicators, inserts, lens holders and panels. Our post-processing services are applied for certain parts with specific requirements such as special coatings or EMC shielding.
