Moldex3D Optics software provides an analysis for optical components, including birefringence, retardation and polarization. Integrated with CODE V, Moldex3D Optics also enables users to simulate non-uniform refractive index more precisely for high-quality lens production.

Injection-molded optical parts, widely used in 3D applications, have become smaller and lighter. The flow-induced anisotropy would be severer in smaller filling space; as a result, key optical issues, such as birefringence, retardation or polarization, would be a bottleneck in manufacturing injection-molded optical components. Based on the three-dimensional filling analysis and the viscoelastic analysis, Moldex3D Optics precisely predicts birefringence performance for flow-induced and thermally-induced parts. It helps users optimize processing factors, such as the part geometry, runner design, gate design, or filling speed, to affect important optical properties.
