Recent popularization of 3D printing has transformed engineering of materials. 3D printing of optical components offers an opportunity to produce affordable and accessible optics and the possibility of manufacturing optics and lenses that were otherwise not possible using conventional manufacturing techniques. Industrial 3D printing of optical components using highly specialized equipment, such as Polyjet, is available, however, may be expensive and does not allow rapid prototyping and experimentation[1].
