Niche capabilities LTI Optics specializes in optical design consulting and Photopia software integration with SOLIDWORKS and Rhino, offering end-to-end design and testing within customers' CAD environments to shorten development cycles for complex illumination and imaging systems.

UV to IR Lab The company operates its own optics lab and maintains extensive measured BSDF data across UV, visible, and near-infrared ranges, enabling rapid prototyping and accurate material characterization for customers seeking high-fidelity optical performance.

CAD ecosystem Photopia’s tight integration as an add-in for SOLIDWORKS and Rhino, plus Python and Grasshopper support, positions LTI Optics to target engineering teams already invested in these platforms for efficient design workflows and tooling harmonization.

Growth signals With a moderate revenue range and a small employee base, there is potential to scale through channel partnerships, expanded service offerings, or licensing opportunities with larger optics and photonics players who require specialized design support.

Market fit The focus on diverse non-imaging optical systems (illumination, UV curing, solar concentration, daylighting, sensors) aligns with growing demand in sustainable lighting, medical/industrial UV applications, and energy-efficient imaging, suggesting cross-sell potential to customers of Thorlabs, Newport, or similar incumbents.
