SimuTech Demo Day

AI & Automation in Optical Simulation

October 1, 2026 from 8:00 AM-12:30 PM EST
SimuTech Rochester HQ Office

Build the workflow,
not just the model.

Spend a morning with some of SimuTech’s optics and automation engineers learning how AI and scripting are changing the way optical simulation actually gets done — from PyAnsys-driven automation to running optiSLang, Mechanical, and Zemax together for multidisciplinary optimization and validation.

Seats are limited, so attendance is by request. Submit the form and our team will confirm your spot.
