Prototyping optically transparent components isn’t as easy as opaque ones. Traditional manufacturing methods like CNC machining and laser cutting achieve different levels of translucency, and greatly limit the possible geometries available. These manufacturing methods are also time intensive, with one prototype taking an average 4 days to complete. Ontario-based Nix
