How We Do It
WaveFront combines cutting-edge technology with a vertically integrated workflow — enabling complete control from concept to production. Our capabilities span:

• Microstructure Origination & Design Mastering Using techniques such as grayscale lithography, holography, and diamond turning, we create original structures with sub-micron precision.

• Custom Optical Design & Development Our in-house engineering team collaborates closely with clients to design unique surface geometries and light-guiding features optimized for specific performance targets.

• Roll-to-Roll UV Cast Replication At the heart of our manufacturing process is our proprietary roll-to-roll UV casting technology, which allows for high-volume, cost-effective replication of complex micro-structured surfaces on flexible substrates. WFT’s ability to custom formulate UV casting resins for each application sets our technology apart, ensuring optimal performance and precision for every surface.

• Material Versatility & Output Formats We support a wide range of film widths (6"–68") and thicknesses (12.5–300 microns), delivering final products in rolls, sheets, or laminated substrates — ready for integration into packaging, devices, or optical assemblies.

Our ability to integrate design, tooling, and high-volume manufacturing under one roof ensures faster time-to-market, exceptional quality control, and consistent performance at scale.
