Accumold Showcases Micro-Optics Innovation at Photonics West 2025
Accumold, a global leader in precision micro injection molding, is excited to kick off the new year with its annual attendance at industry-leading trade shows, starting with SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, CA, from January 28-30, 2025. The company will be at booth 1853, showcasing cutting-edge micro-molded plastic components that range from 5 cm down to under 1 mm in size, all exhibiting micron-level features.
“We’re thrilled to kick off the new year at Photonics West this January! This show is always a highlight for Accumold as it marks the start of our annual event calendar. We love reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new industry professionals, and exploring the latest advancements in technology. Be sure to visit our booth to learn how micro molding can help bring your ideas to life! says Brett Saddoris, Technical Marketing Manager at Accumold.
Accumold brings more than 40 years of expertise to industries driving toward smaller, more complex components, with a particular focus on micro-optics. The company has played a key role in developing breakthrough products for both innovative SMEs and large multinational corporations. Its micro-optic capabilities include manufacturing fiber optic lenses, parallel arrays, demux devices, and diffractive lenses — all with extreme precision.
Micro-optic applications require accuracy down to fractions of a wavelength. From insert molding to adding specialized coatings like IR and anti-reflective layers, Accumold is trusted by OEMs to meet tight tolerances while maintaining cost-efficiency. With the ability to replicate lens profiles to within a quarter wave and achieve surface finishes within 50 angstroms, Accumold sets the benchmark for quality in micro-optics manufacturing.
Saddoris continues, “A critical takeaway for attendees is the importance of engaging micro- molding experts early in the product development cycle. Treating a supplier like Accumold as a true partner — not merely a job shop — can make all the difference in achieving efficient, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions.”
Beyond molding, Accumold’s expertise extends to solving tooling challenges and ensuring precision through every production stage. The company uses fully automated assembly processes to handle delicate micro components, ensuring parts maintain orientation and avoid contamination.
With a proven track record of collaborating with optics OEMs worldwide, Accumold offers unmatched security and scalability. As the largest and most experienced micro molder globally, the company ensures that clients benefit from economies of scale, efficient production processes, and the ability to ramp up to mass-volume manufacturing when needed.
Attendees at Photonics West are invited to visit Accumold’s booth to see firsthand how micro molding innovations can accelerate their product development and improve outcomes in micro-optics applications.
