Innovative Technology
Momentum's award-winning technology is based on two innovations. First, laser-chemical machining is used to remove material without making physical contact with the surface. No grinding. No polishing. Just an ultra-smooth surface finish.
Second, an in-tool sensor capable of nanometer resolution provides real-time surface measurements. The sensor enables closed-loop feedback control resulting in greater machining precision while increasing throughput.

✔ Custom digital manufacturing UI tools give you full control and rapid turnaround on quote and ordering.
Expertise and Knowledge
We leveraging the latest technology to tackle modern challenges. Freeform optics for heads-up-displays is one example.
Tailored Solutions
Customer satisfaction is our priority. Our support team is ready to assist, ensuring you have a smooth and successful experience.
Quality and Excellence
With extensive experience and deep industry knowledge, we provide insights and solutions that keep you ahead of the curve.
Rapid Delivery
Custom optics have notoriously long lead times. A two month wait is common especially for challenging optics like freeforms. However, today's product design cycles are being compressed from 1-2 years to 3-4 months often placing optics on the critical path to market entry. Now there is a better, faster path forward. We don't measure delivery time in months. In many cases, we can deliver precision optics in days. Ultra-fast. No Compromises.
Affordable
Custom optics are expensive which places them out of reach for some projects or forces designers to use ultra-conservative designs to avoid iterating on prototypes. Momentum's digital manufacturing platform and underlying technology overcome the cost/time/performance barrier - we like to think of it as one-offs without the trade-offs.
Why Glass?
Glass offers numerous advantages compared to plastic materials:
- Broader Selection. Materials with a wider range of refractive index and Abbe number
- Environmental resilience. More durable and scratch-resistant
- Temperature tolerance. Lower coefficient of thermal expansion and less temperature-induced changes to refractive index

About Us
We offer optics manufacturing-as-a-service using a modern, frictionless ordering system - a first for the industry. Underpinning our service is a patented technology that enables affordable glass machining at a fraction of the cost and time compared to traditional methods. It's now possible to order custom optics with accelerated turnaround at a price suitable for multi-iteration prototyping.
Vision
We envision optics manufacturing becoming more like semiconductor processing. An operator remotely monitoring a floor of highly automated machines. A dark fab. One big difference though - anyone can gain access to this manufacturing line. Using digital manufacturing principles and machine learning we're removing optics from the critical path in new product development, enabling designers to create wildly imaginative products reaching performance metrics beyond state-of-the-art.
Core Values
We aim to forge collaborative partnerships with our customers, fueled by a passion to see their optical projects succeed. We value an open and inviting environment, cultivating relationships founded on respect and trust.
