Technologies That Work as a System.

ZWANTS brings optical engineering, programmable projection, embedded electronics, and machine vision together for research, prototyping, and advanced product development.

Core Technologies

Four Disciplines. One Engineering Platform.

Each technology can stand alone, but the greatest value comes from designing the complete optical, electronic, imaging, and processing path around the application.

01 / OPTICS

Optical Engineering

Illumination, projection, imaging optics, working distance, field of view, wavelength selection, and custom optical architecture.

02 / DLP

DLP & Projection

Programmable light engines and DLP-based projection platforms for structured light, research, measurement, and OEM integration.

03 / EMBEDDED

Embedded Systems

Controllers, interfaces, synchronization, embedded processing, and system-level electronics built around the optical application.

04 / VISION

Machine Vision

Camera integration, calibration, structured-light architecture, image acquisition, processing, and research data generation.

01 / Optical Engineering

Design the light path around the application.

Optical performance is often determined by the complete system rather than a single lens or projector. ZWANTS engineering considers wavelength, field of view, working distance, numerical aperture, illumination geometry, projection angle, focus, depth of field, and mechanical constraints together.

  • Projection optics
  • Imaging optics
  • Illumination design
  • UV / VIS / NIR architectures
  • Custom lens requirements
  • Opto-mechanical integration
02 / DLP & Projection

Programmable light for research and development.

DLP-based systems provide precise spatial control of projected light. ZWANTS develops and integrates research line engines and projection platforms for structured-light imaging, machine vision, optical experimentation, education, and OEM development.

  • Research light engines
  • DLP development platforms
  • Structured-light projection
  • Custom illumination wavelengths
  • High-resolution pattern projection
  • Application-specific optics
03 / Embedded Systems

Connect optics to real system control.

Embedded electronics provide the bridge between projection, imaging, synchronization, motion, sensors, and application software. The architecture can range from a research controller to an integrated embedded platform designed for a product.

  • Controller architecture
  • Trigger & synchronization
  • Embedded processing
  • I/O & interfaces
  • System control
  • OEM integration
04 / Machine Vision

Turn projected light into usable data.

Machine vision systems depend on the interaction between projector, camera, optics, calibration, mechanical geometry, and processing. ZWANTS focuses on integrating those pieces into a complete development platform.

  • Camera integration
  • Structured-light geometry
  • Calibration architecture
  • Depth & point-cloud development
  • Imaging synchronization
  • Research platforms
System Architecture

From Programmable Light to Research Data.

A ZWANTS development system can combine projection, optics, imaging, embedded control and processing into one application-specific architecture.
