A new approach named “place and bend assembly” for the efficient integration of complex optical systems in high volume has been developed by Fraunhofer IPMS. The concept has been proven using 3D printed components. Recent developments aim at applying injection molding for the fabrication of substrates optionally in high volume, as well as the integration of functional and optical active surfaces into the substrate. Design, material, process parameters and their optimization for the injection molding have to be analyzed in fine detail. Results of the substrate characterization and system integration will be presented.
