About Us

Modern Molded Optics

Hexagon Optics was founded by a highly experienced team in precision molded optics to address weaknesses in the domestic knowledge base and supply chain. We are a manufacturer of precision optics specializing in precision glass-molded components, most commonly aspheric lenses, produced using state-of-the-art progressive precision glass molding machines. This modern approach provides the flexibility to support both low- and high-volume production and enables us to work with materials spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, including chalcogenide glass for infrared applications.

The Optics Company that Actually Wants to Mold Lenses

Molding optics isn’t just a capability, it’s the core of who we are. While many suppliers treat molded optics as a secondary offering or worse, we have built our expertise, infrastructure and partnerships around doing it exceptionally well. From optical glass to advanced materials like chalcogenides, we focus on high-precision molding that delivers consistent quality, repeatability and cost efficiency for demanding optical applications.

We Don’t Compete with our Customers. We Empower Them.

Our business model is built around partnerships. We exist to provide world-class optics and the supply-chain expertise needed to bring your products to market faster, better and more cost-effectively. We never position ourselves against the very companies we support; instead, we operate as a trusted extension of your team, focused on enabling your success. Your growth is our priority, by staying out of your product space and concentrating on what we do best: precision optics, advanced molding and reliable manufacturing, we create a relationship rooted in trust and long-term collaboration. When you work with Hexagon Optics, you gain a dedicated partner whose sole objective is to strengthen your competitive advantage, not challenge it.

More than Just Collimating Optics

Our focus extends well beyond standard catalog-based collimating optics. While collimation remains an important segment of the market, the rapid growth of advanced imaging systems has made precision glass molded aspheres a critical enabling technology. Imaging applications demand superior surface accuracy, tighter form tolerances, larger apertures and a broader selection of optical glass, requirements that exceed the limits of traditional off-the-shelf solutions. Hexagon Optics is purpose-built to support these needs, offering deep experience in material selection, tool design and process optimization to achieve consistent performance at production scale.

Partnering for Performance, Scale and Innovation

Through our experience with advanced manufacturing technology, materials such as chalcogenides and a collaborative, customer first approach, we deliver precision, performance and scalability that few others can match. From prototype to high-volume production, small apertures to large diameter aspheres and standard to specialized optical materials, we provide solutions that accelerate innovation, reduce costs and unlock new capabilities. With Hexagon Optics in your corner, you gain not only a supplier, but a dedicated team committed to turning your optical designs into reality.

Improve Your Optics Supply Chain

Our team brings decades of experience working with optics and molding-specific suppliers around the world. If a component cannot be manufactured in-house, we can source it through our trusted channel partners–ensuring continuity, quality and reliability in your supply chain.

Enabling the Next Generation of Molded Optics

At Hexagon Optics, we believe in simplicity without oversimplification. Manufacturing precision optics is a delicate process, and we strive to perfect it. Our goal is to create streamlined, straightforward experiences for both our customers and our employees.

We believe in semi-automation, not full automation, and augmented intelligence, not artificial intelligence alone. By combining advanced automation and intelligent systems with essential human expertise, we simplify processes, improve outcomes, and help keep costs as low as possible.

Effortless Partnerships. Seamless Collaboration.

By leveraging deep experience across optics design, development, and manufacturing–along with domestic and international relationships built over more than two decades, Hexagon Optics is committed to enabling our partners’ success. With the largest body of molded optics training content in the world, we also offer education and collaboration to ensure the best possible product outcomes.

While we emphasize rigorous execution, we also value openness, collaboration, and approachability. Hexagon Optics is located in Apopka, Florida, on the northwest side of the greater Orlando area. If you’re nearby, we’d be glad to welcome you for a visit.
