In the field of additive manufacture rapid progress could be observed in recent years. Based on this progress transmissive and reflective optical elements can now be manufactured with 3D printers. Hereby the manufacturing process is focused on with classical technologies difficult to manufacture freeform optics, which are optimized for specific metrology tasks. This article summarizes recent developments of additive manufactured, optimized metrology systems designed for in-line inspection use.
