Abstract

A file sharing site for lens designs has been started at www.lens-designs.com. This site currently contains almost 2,000 optical models. Many engineering disciplines have built public libraries of useful, publicly-available content. For example, GITHUB1 has publicly-available software; GrabCAD2, 3DcontentCentral3, TurboSquid4 all offer mechanical engineering content such as solids files; TI, Analog, etc. offer reference designs for electronics engineers. Generally, these services aren’t just file repositories; they also offer collaboration, yielding more models, more refinement, more discussion, more community, and more to learn. Lens designers can also benefit from such design libraries. This paper explains the utility and structure of the site.
