Industrial digital micromirror devices (DMDs)

Enable reliable maskless lithography with DLP technology

Digital imaging with DLP technology provides an alternative to mask-based approaches. Acting as a programmable photomask, the digital micromirror device (DMD) delivers fast, high-resolution, scalable, and precise printing, directing light patterns to expose photosensitive materials. Eliminating masks reduces material costs, shortens mask fabrication time, removes mask inventory management, and accelerates development.

High resolution and speed support rapid pattern changes and immediate corrections. These advantages scale effectively, improving yield and enabling panel-level production. DLP direct imaging supports PCB manufacturing, flat-panel display repair, laser marking, advanced packaging, and other light exposure applications.

Enable high-speed, programmable structured light and pattern projection

DLP technology delivers high-speed, fully programmable pattern projection for 3D scanning and machine vision applications. With scalable architectures, precise pixel control and fast data rates, DLP technology enables structured light designs that capture detailed depth and dimensional data in real time.

Comprehensive third-party optical modules, algorithm software, and design tools help accelerate development, supporting applications in robotics, industrial automation, metrology and quality inspection.

Accelerate industrial and desktop resin 3D printing with DLP technology

DLP technology enables fast, reliable, and precise resin-based additive manufacturing by projecting UV light to cure photopolymer materials layer by layer. Unlike point-by-point methods, DLP printers expose an entire layer at once, delivering faster print speeds, fine feature resolution and exceptional repeatability.

With wavelength support spanning 343nm to 2,500nm, DLP technology accommodates a wide range of resins for industrial, dental, jewelry and custom manufacturing applications.

Achieve precise, high-speed optical switching and signal control

DLP technology powers fast, accurate and reliable optical networking components such as switches, attenuators, monitors and wavelength conditioners, including reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs). The digital micromirror device (DMD) enables precise light manipulation with high isolation, rapid switching speeds, and broad wavelength support from 355nm to 2,500nm.

These advantages enhance optical signal routing and enable scalable, energy-efficient network designs.

Build compact, high-performance spectrometers with DLP technology

Every material interacts uniquely with light. DLP technology enables fast, accurate, and compact spectrometers that analyze these optical signatures to identify and characterize materials. Light dispersed by a prism or diffraction grating is projected onto the DMD, which directs selected wavelengths into a single-element detector for precise measurement.

This approach reduces system size and cost while improving sensitivity, speed, and versatility for laboratory, field, and industrial spectroscopy applications.
