Optical System Development from the Idea to the Prototype

Expiration of a system development at the Fraunhofer IOF

The Fraunhofer IOF offers a whole package of optical systems development. We escort our clients all the way from the idea to the prototype and even to system integration.
The IOF coordinates and warrants, that all tasks are performed by appropriate specialists.
