IOT has introduced Light-Form technology, a digital additive manufacturing approach that produces customized prescription lenses in seconds using a single flash of light. This stabilized frontal photopolymerization process eliminates voxelization and finishing, reducing material waste by 70% and energy consumption by 90%. By bypassing traditional layer-by-layer constraints, the system enables a distributed manufacturing model for on-site retail and smart glass integration. This represents a systemic leap toward sustainable, point-of-care optical production. 🚀 #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #optics #sustainability #innovation
