In a stark contrast to traditional optical design and simulation software, 3DOptix offers a free, easy‐to‐use, cloud‐based, collaborative optical design and simulation software. It includes a suite of discovery tools, such as off‐the‐shelf optical element search, Filter finder tool, professional drawing/media capabilities, educational walk‐me, and live mode. The modern UI/UX design allows for a steep learning curve catering to both experienced optical designers and novices.
