PrintAccumold, a global leader in precision micro molding, will exhibit at SPIE Photonics West 2026 (January 20-22, San Francisco, USA), the premier event for lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronics, and technologies supporting biophotonics, quantum, and vision applications. Photonics West remains the industry’s most concentrated meeting point for teams shaping how light is generated, guided, and measured.
Visit Accumold at Booth #1848 to explore how micro molding is enabling photonics innovation through miniature plastic components that demand exceptional dimensional control and repeatability. In photonics, performance often comes down to alignment, where even small deviations can affect signal integrity, coupling efficiency, or long-term stability. Micro molding provides a route to scalable production of intricate geometries used in optical packaging, alignment frames, connector sub-components, light guides, micro-optical carriers, and sensor housings, often in materials selected for optical performance, thermal stability, and dimensional consistency.
“Photonics West is the perfect place to meet new customers, reconnect with familiar faces, and explore the latest innovations shaping our industry,” says Zach Hayman, Senior Sales Engineer at Accumold. “It’s an invaluable opportunity to showcase Accumold’s advanced micro molding capabilities to teams pushing the limits of what’s possible. We invite you to stop by our booth and see how our expertise can support your next breakthrough.”
At Photonics West 2026, Accumold’s team will discuss practical manufacturing considerations that matter in real photonics programs, such as how to maintain repeatability across long runs, how to think about tolerance stack-ups when optical alignment is critical, and how to design micro features that are not only functional, but manufacturable at scale. Attendees can also learn how clean handling and controlled production environments can be important when optical surfaces, micro features, or particulate sensitivity are in play, especially for components integrated into precision assemblies.
Whether you’re developing compact photonic modules, sensing platforms, optical interfaces, or devices supporting emerging quantum and vision applications, the conversation starts with manufacturability. Photonics West is where innovation meets execution, so stop by Booth #1848 to explore how micro molding can help translate ambitious optical designs into reliable, repeatable production.
