Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical element (100) having at least one functional region using a 3D-printer, comprising the steps: forming a three-dimensional structure (50) of the optical element (100) using a 3D-printer such that the three-dimensional structure (100) has at least one microfluidic cavity (4) for receiving a functional substance (6); and filling the at least one microfluidic cavity (4) with the functional substance (6) for forming the at least one functional region. In addition, the invention relates to a device for manufacturing an optical element (100) as well as a use of the device.
