DESIGNING

With FocalPoints, you can create and design your products with the same cutting-edge CAD tools used by professionals worldwide, and then use our simulation tools to research and optimise your designs for production. Using our signature Designer First Approach (DFA) the CL designer always start from Standards constructs, rather than from an empty slate. With our simulation tools you can improve efficiency and achieve higher quality standards, even before getting to the Lathe.

COMPONENTS APPROACH

Designer streamlines the design process in identifiable components, allowing full control and flexibility.

MATERIALS: material + color
SPECIFICATIONS: basic lens info
PARAMETERS: parameters + range
BACK CURVE: BC geometry
POWER CURVE: PC on the front OZ
LENTICULAR: front periphery
EDGE: edge geometry
STABILISATION: CL stabilisation
MARKERS: diagnostic markings
SERVICES: associated services
LATHES SETUP: optimal lathe association

INDUSTRY LEADING TECHNOLOGY

Featuring industry-leading CAD technology based on ray-tracing, FocalPoints is one of the most powerful design tools on the market. FocalPoints will give you a simulation of what you're designing, giving you full control over the design decisions, leading to better quality with less errors. FocalPoints allows the Lens Designer to dynamically control the lens geometry through the use of formulas or tables. Tables or formulas may use a number of lens parameters, such as diameter, lens power or base-curve radius. Formulas, tables, edge shapes or other lens elements can be saved and reused in other lens designs.

UNIQUE SIMULATION TESTING

One of the goals of FocalPoints is to speed up the development of a CL design. In the past, the lens designer was required to cut a lot of samples to verify the resulting lens geometry. Working by trial and error resulted in high development costs.

The extensive Simulation Testing tools offered by FocalPoints are aimed at reducing development times by using a set of virtual analysis tools that will speed up research and design cycles, giving you more time to spend on creating real solutions.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Special Features are proprietary FocalPoints options that can considerably simplify and expedite the CL Designer's work. These options available under royalty provide powerful tools like Automatic Fitting, High Definition, Raytraced Multifocals, Decentered Conics, Segmented Bifocals, Parametric DMaps, FP and HD Prism, KC Niche, Edge Vault, Smooth Edge and Fenestrations.

CUSTOM FITTING

FocalPoints can read and interpret the data of many popular corneal topographers. The information can be used for custom fitting lenses with an adaptive design. The fit is reviewed with an accurate, interactive simulated fluorescein pattern and a diagram of the tear layer. After fitting a lens to topographic data, the lens can be fine-tuned for a perfect fit by clicking the control points on the tear layer diagram.

GRAPHIC MODULE

The Graphic Module is an advanced drawing and imaging tool, which has been designed to create technical documentation. Being integrated in FocalPoints Designer, all the lens design parameters, geometry and sections can be automatically generated from the design definition thus speeding up the documentation workflow.

SECURE DESIGN LICENSING

Lenses designed in FocalPoints can be licensed to another Lab equipped with FocalPoints. Licensing is secure and simple, CL are encrypted so that:

Design information is hidden
The lens cannot be modified

Only with the FP Licensing Platform you can quickly obtain additional profits relying on an efficient network.
