Volpi USA has a long history of developing standard photonics products as well as custom OEM engineered solutions. Future emphasis will be placed on custom engineered solutions.
Since having been purchased by Max Kunz, CEO Volpi Group in 2007, new energy has been brought to business development in the custom engineered area. Volpi's expertise, know-how and engineering talent are well suited for solving the most demanding photonic challenges. With a global team of development engineers, synergies of application solutions and technologies are envisioned.
Volpi remains committed to expanding via market driven growth as a photonic subsystem development and manufacturing concern.

Ray Trace Modeling at Volpi USA
Everyone is on the path of shorter, less costly development cycles. Deciding on the most efficient path needs to be carefully considered. Is what appears to be the shortest path really what it promises?
In your next machine vision illumination project, you might want to consider optical modeling as a first step. Engineering services like optical modeling may benefit you more than you might think. Engineering services are often thought be expensive and time consuming. The truth is for certain kinds of challenges, optical modeling is quick and cost effective.
Optical modeling is ideal for making design choices among several options. When it comes to simulating the shape and uniformity of an illuminated field of view, optical modeling can't be beat. You don't need to determine absolute requirements, just make the educated best choice in a pool of several illumination alternatives. Several iterations of optical modeling can be done in a day. The tried and true iterative method.. now that takes time. Making chips doesn't exactly come cheap. When it's time to make chips, you want to be sure you are already far down the right road.
Optical modeling can uncover unexpected results. Optical problems are often non-intuitive. Periodically, one is caught by surprise in predicting how light will propagate in a system. Something as simple as predicting the result of Snell's law in several media and odd geometries can be an intellectual exercise. You only need to be caught off guard once to know the value of modeling.
If you are note sure how something is going to work, turn to simulation tools. It might just be the least expensive thing you ever did.

Volpi USA Invests in the Fiber Optic and LED Needs of Tomorrow
The present economic situation is like springtime. Winter is letting go of its grip and it’s time to be thinking about the future. It’s time again to consider next year’s harvest and decide what we’re going to plant.
Volpi is being structured to maximize on speed and adaptability in our markets. We believe markets value our ability to react to unplanned and unanticipated needs. Can you be quick and can you get it right? It’s conceptually simple, but how do we make it happen? The challenge is to optimize each step from request to deliverable and not miss a beat in the coordination of each step. You’ve got to improve your ability to coordinate and improve your ability to execute.
Improving coordination starts with people. If you want a quick and adaptable company, you know two important attributes of your people. They have to be resourceful and know what they’re doing. They also must be eager to apply themselves to today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, again and again. You cultivate and create a garden with these kinds of people.
Coordination is also improved when you can influence how and when individual steps are executed. From the standpoint of Volpi management, this means less outsourcing. It means growing existing know-how and better integrating how things connect to each other.
With this strategy in mind, Volpi has taken delivery of two high speed, CNC lathes. These machines allow us to be even more adaptable to our customer’s needs. Along with the CNC milling machines we invested in last year, we have the machining resources to respond to the full spectrum of our customer’s needs, quickly! We make the chips during the day or at night.
Of course, we still want our customers to see that planning on their end is of value to their desired outcome. On the other hand, we understand that we are in an environment where plans need to change quickly. It can’t be avoided. With this reality in mind,
