PicoMaster XF 500-H and PicoMaster XF 1000-H

The ultimate high-speed, large-format, DWL mastering tool for the origination of:
 
Diffractive 'rainbow' patterns
Fresnel lenses
Fresnel images 'bas relief'
Zero colour 'platinum' patterns and images
Other 2.5D, greyscale, optical micro-structures

The PicoMaster XF-H series is the next generation of large-format mastering systems and the world's first and currently only purpose-built, high-speed, high-resolution, large-format DWL systems for the origination of holograms, diffractive 'rainbow' patterns, Fresnel lenses, Fresnel images, zero-colour 'platinum' patterns and many other types of 2.5D, greyscale, microstructured optical surfaces for premium packaging applications.

​

The PicoMaster XF 500-H and PicoMaster XF 1000-H are turn-key solutions to create all kinds of 2.5D, greyscale, seamless, micron, and sub-micron scale structured surfaces over large 500 x 500 mm (20" x 20") and 1000 x 1000mm (40" x 40") areas respectively, at high speed. The systems are supplied with a 405nm laser, 600 nm resolution capability (400nm is optional), a high-resolution optical auto-focus system, and PicoHLD, a fully-featured, user-friendly hologram, diffractive pattern, and Fresnel lens design and composition program. The system is also supplied with Spatial Imaging's Pattern Generator, a program for the generation of random shape and gradient 'pillars of light' patterns for packaging applications.
