Happy New Year - New ATHOS software features for 2026

New and exciting software features for both the ATHOS Nano and the ATHOS Rapid mastering systems are coming in 2026.

Fresnel lens patterns will make a valuable addition for both security and packaging applications.

Complex, 3D computer generated holograms (CGHs) directly written from computer models. A technique which has only been available to users with very expensive e-beam systems in the past, can now be exploited using a light-based ATHOS mastering system. Sophisticated software accepts a standard 3D computer model as input, and outputs a high-resolution interference pattern that can be directly written in a truly seamless and tile-less manner by either an ATHOS Nano or an ATHOS Rapid system to recreate the 3D object.
