Abstract

Digital Light Processing (DLP)-based technology continues to evolve as a cornerstone in optical systems for advanced manufacturing and imaging applications. Increased requirements drive demand for new customized solutions in implementing optical systems of high resolution, precision, and optical power across diverse industrial and research domains. In this work, we present a next-generation UV light engine platform designed to solve these current challenges through highly combinable, high-intensity, precision architecture. We show examples how our modular system addresses the variety of requirements posed by diverse applications. Our platform leverages configurable DLP chips with up to native 4K-resolution, precision optics, and customizable illumination pathways, capable of supporting a wide spectral range in the UV domain, enabling seamless adaptation into a variety of application spaces. We present system solutions, tailored for dynamic maskless lithography and stateof-the-art high-resolution additive manufacturing. These solutions combine high-end DLP-UV Projectors with a variety of optical systems, ranging from laser to microscopes for applications in industry and research.
