INGENERIC High-precision micro-optics

About

INGENERIC develops and manufactures optical components for high-power applications as well as optical systems for scientific research, medical and metrology applications and various industries.

Founded in 2001 as a spin-off of Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT), INGENERIC today has around 100 employees. In 2019, headquarters and production facilities moved to Baesweiler within the Technology Region Aachen, Germany.

INGENERIC offers the complete process chain worldwide, from lens and system design, prototyping, small-batch production to mass production. Following micro-optics and modules are manufactured:

• Fast-Axis Collimation
• Slow-Axis Collimation
• Collimation Modules
• Beam Transformation Optics
• Microlens Arrays
• Aspheres and Acylinders
• Freeform Optics

With its unique technology profile, INGENERIC has become a leading supplier of beam-shaping optics for semiconductor lasers. The high-precision microlenses are used in many growth markets such as medical technology (endoscopy) and optical datacom.

In July 2019, INGENERIC GmbH merged with Aixtooling GmbH, a tool manufacturer for precision optics, and thereby expanded its manufacturing technologies. The company, also founded in 2005 as a spin-off of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT), develops and produces high-precision pressing tools for precision molding. This process can be used to produce optics with a wide variety of geometries and glass materials, which are used, for example, in laser or medical technology, camera lenses and components for autonomous driving. In precision molding, glass blanks are formed between two halves of a tool; the process is particularly suitable for optics with complex geometries, such as those used in laser technology.

The expanded competencies and capacities secure the position of the strengthened INGENERIC GmbH as a technology leader with growing future potential.
