Optical Design - Save Time and Money with CODE V

Increased productivity with the best optimization in the industry

CODE V delivers unique, innovative optimization capabilities designed to give you the best design solution as fast as possible.

• CODE V’s global optimization feature uses an algorithm we invented that has been verified time and time again by users as the most capable in the market for generating practical solutions for real-world problems.
• Smart, engineering-based defaults minimize setup time and allow you to focus on designing your optical system, not managing a complicated merit function.
• The expert knowledge of our optical engineers is embedded in our algorithms, which consistently produce superior optimization results with unparalleled efficiency.

Savings on tolerancing and manufacturing costs

By weighing the benefits of performance and manufacturing sensitivity at the same time — such as designing towards larger tolerances and less expensive glasses — you can significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing optics.

• Because CODE V’s tolerancing is so fast and accurate, you can run it in the early stages of a design to avoid wasting time on a system that will be too sensitive to manufacture.
• You can include tolerance performance when you optimize the system in CODE V, so you know the design will work right when it's built.

Faster time-to-market

CODE V’s flexible user interface, faster algorithms, intelligent defaults, and features to support the manufacturing process all help you develop and assemble designs that are right the first time—and get your products to market faster.
