Small lenses, big impact – revolutionizing high volume optical manufacturing for miniature imaging applications
People perceive 80 percent of their environment optically with their eyes – provided the image is sharp. Digital image acquisition in combination with artificial intelligence has opened up the use of machine vision in the medical, automotive, IoT and consumer sectors.
In cooperation with mcd – modern camera designs GmbH, FabuLens GmbH is developing a new and groundbreaking method for the production of cost-effective and high-precision imaging optics – the eyes of electronics. These are used in very large quantities, e.g. in smartphone camera modules, optical sensor technology, automobiles and disposable endoscopy.

Company
FabuLens GmbH is a subsidiary of the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIN-D). We are developing the innovative LENSCURE ™ manufacturing process, which has the potential to bring a key technology of digital image acquisition back to Germany and thus strengthen Germany as a place for innovation. Our technology helps to untangle global supply chains, reduce dependencies from international suppliers and increase the resilience of entire European industries.
The best of both worlds
The high-volume manufacturing process LENSCURE ™, developed by FabuLens and mcd – modern camera designs , combines the advantages of precision optical injection molding with the scaling capabilities of wafer-level optics known from semiconductor manufacturing. This approach reduces the required number of machines, size of factory floor space, production cost and at the same time saves enormous amounts of energy.
Work with us
We are looking for people who want to shape the future of digital cameras with us. In order to achieve our goals, we need committed and enthusiastic people who want to develop new products and systems from Germany. As a subsidiary of the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIN-D) with strong connections to leading research institutions and companies in our field – in Germany and worldwide- we lay the foundation for groundbreaking innovations that need cheap high-quality miniature optics.
