Optical design software for UV curing.

UV and UVC Optical Design Software

Photopia^™ is the perfect optical design software for your UV illumination optical designs. Whether you are designing a UVC air or water purification system or creating a UV light source for UV curing in adhesives or printing, Photopia will help you design the best UV optical system in the shortest amount of time.

Photopia is a plug-in for both SOLIDWORKS^® and Rhino^®. If you are not using SOLIDWORKS, then Photopia for Rhino is the best option since it includes a full seat of Rhino and allows you to work with IGES or STEP CAD models from any other program, including CATIA^®, SOLIDWORKS^®, AutoCAD^®, CREO^®, SolidEdge^®, and Inventor^®.

The Photopia Library includes lamp and material data for UV applications, as well as the ability to add custom light sources and material properties. The Parametric Optical Design Tools help you create and optimize reflector and lens shapes for controlling the irradiation pattern of your UV device to optimize the energy onto your target surface.

UV Curing Applications

Reflector or lens optics can be created with Photopia's Parametric Optical Design Tools (PODT) to properly irradiate your target area, whether you need a concentrated beam or an even spread over a desired width at a specific distance.

✔ Setup any test regions you wish

✔ Determine target efficiency and uniformity

✔ View irradiance pattern

✔ Optimize optic to achieve target distribution
