Littleton, MA, USA, January 06, 2015 – Lambda Research Corporation, the leading designer and manufacturer of illumination and optical design software, announces its participation in the SPIE Photonics West Trade Show & Conference, Booth #901, at The Moscone Center from February 10 – 12, 2015 in San Francisco, CA. In addition, the company will be offering live demonstrations of TracePro®, their flagship product. Optics and photonics design engineers, researchers, and students attending the show are encouraged to bring their latest projects and experience a real-time demo using their designs.

TracePro offers the most powerful and sophisticated optical design software available. TracePro streamlines the prototype to manufacturing process by combining an intuitive 3D CAD interface, superior ray-tracing performance, advanced utilities, and seamless interoperability with other mechanical design programs. The latest release, TracePro 7.6 includes multiple new features and a simplified menu structure that broaden the program’s capabilities. TracePro's source editor can now handle multiple source types including Grid and File sources. The incident ray table now includes Optical Path Length information for each ray. The solar utility has been enhanced to add multiple solar tracking solutions and to calculate turbidity over a period. The menu structure has been simplified to incorporate utilities directly inside TracePro editors for easier data input.
