Las Vegas, NV January 31, 2023 –(PR.com)– The 3D app that won the first-ever Best of IBS for Most Innovative Construction Tool is a finalist for the Best Home Software Product of 2023. Previously, judges at the 2020 International Builders’ Show recognized BILT’s ability to help contractors bid and scope projects and help new workers up-skill efficiently. This week, they’ll consider BILT’s consumer use: guiding homeowners to assemble, install, maintain, program, and repair thousands of products from hundreds of leading brands. BILT is also beta-testing product-specific accessories available on brand websites to increase upselling opportunities.

Consumers and pros alike use the free BILT app to complete tasks efficiently with customizable 3D animation. Created from the manufacturer’s computer-aided design (CAD) images, users can manipulate the 3D animations to zoom in, tap on a part, and rotate 360 degrees. No longer must installers struggle through confusing (or missing!) paper manuals or decipher illustrated diagrams. Unlike how-to videos, BILT is ad-free and allows users to pace themselves with instant step replay. Manufacturers pay a subscription to provide a superior customer experience for their products.

“The genius behind BILT, though, is our team of instruction designers,” says BILT CEO Nate Henderson. “They’re the best in the world at what they do.” He says designers put themselves in the customers’ shoes and experience all the pain points of the project. They don’t merely digitize paper manuals, they often reconfigure, reorder, and simplify the steps to make the instructions more digestible and clear. Millions of users appreciate it; BILT has 4.8 stars in the App Store.

“Love it! Seeing the model step by step in 3D is a game changer! No more trying to guess what the picture is trying to describe! 10/10,” says Brandino L.

Henderson says the company is also launching the BILT Toolbox, a growing collection of dozens of helpful 3D guides for DIY projects and tool tutorials. It includes repairing a toilet pump, unclogging a garbage disposal, using a circular saw, installing a USB outlet, tiling a backsplash, operating a nail gun, painting a room, and dozens of other home projects. Homeowners accustomed to checking YouTube for how-to videos can follow ad-free 3D interactive instructions that go at the user’s pace, step by step.

About BILT: 
BILT revolutionizes the customer experience for thousands of products from hundreds of leading brands. Millions of consumers and professionals worldwide use BILT to access official instructions that enable a customizable learning tool that’s universally accessible, sustainable, and interactive.

Champaign, IL January 25, 2023 –(PR.com)– Inprentus, a supplier of custom diffractive optics to a variety of industries, employs a unique and innovative nanoscale contact mode lithography technique that combines ultra-high precision mechanical ruling of metallic surfaces and a variety of proprietary control software, sensor technology and materials science techniques. This method is designed to produce blazed diffractive patterns on optical surfaces for the purpose of controlling light. The company’s nanoscale contact mode lithography process is ideal for manufacturing master diffractive optics used for prototyping as well as high-volume replication.

Inprentus blazed patterns can include a wide range of blaze angles, variable line spacing for focusing and image correction. Multiple blazed patterns (gratings) can be precisely oriented on a surface to create an AR eyepiece. These structures will be used in the next generation of augmented reality glasses by projecting images from outside of the lens, through the waveguide, and then to the eye without the use of bulky “bird bath” optics or non-blazed waveguide patterns, both of which have drawbacks, including low efficiency and higher product manufacturing costs. The Inprentus nanoscale contact mode lithography technique allows multiple gratings, such as input, expander, and output patterns, to be manufactured using the same setup.

Peter Abbamonte, Inprentus’ Chief Science Officer, noted, “The company’s experience over the past ten years, first as a provider of high value, x-ray diffraction gratings for materials research facilities around the world, then as a producer of gratings for precision spectroscopy and semiconductor lithography, has given us the skills we need to meet the stringent requirements of the AR market.”

A key advantage of mechanical lithography is that it can fabricate blazed, sub-wavelength patterns with the asymmetry needed to couple light into a waveguide with high efficiency. Controlling the facet angles to 0.1 deg accuracy allows exquisite spectral tuning with excellent wavefront flatness (<60 nm), without stitching errors that plague other lithography techniques. Blazed patterns are an established platform for high-volume replication with high fidelity. Ruling two-dimensional gratings, also known as crossed gratings, is also possible by extending current capabilities.

Inprentus is now one of the leading manufacturers of custom blazed diffraction gratings worldwide, having delivered over 50 unique projects for visible light, extreme ultraviolet, and x-ray wavelength applications. Company technology achievements include delivering the lowest blaze angle ever achieved in a mechanically ruled grating, 0.1 deg, in an optic with a length of 480 mm. The company offers established optics engineering services including complete instrument designs, RCWA and FDTD simulations, design-for-manufacturing services, and a full suite of metrology techniques.

Inprentus Inc.
Inprentus designs, manufactures, and sells X-ray and EUV diffraction gratings for synchrotron and free electron laser facilities as well as diffraction grating masters for augmented reality optics and spectroscopy applications. The company was founded in 2012 to commercialize an innovative, nano-scale scribing technology. This technology is a general-purpose approach to high-precision patterning of surfaces and is particularly suited to the manufacture of diffractive optics in which features must be shaped with 0.1-degree angular precision and positioned with nanometer precision over distances of tens of centimeters. www.inprentus.com/augmented-reality-waveguide-masters
