From optical engineers, for optical engineers
Jena, June 24, 2026 – siOPTICA today announces the launch of sioRAY, its first dedicated software product. Born from the real-world simulation needs of siOPTICA’s own engineering team, sioRAY is a high-performance, modular raytracing framework built for optical, display, and illumination engineers.
sioRAY combines GPU-accelerated simulation with native Python integration and a free-programmer philosophy – giving engineers the flexibility to build custom, AI-supported, and automated workflows without the constraints of traditional tools.
Key Features
- Mesh-based geometry workflow – Flexible geometry generation and manipulation without CAD overhead
- Periodic boundary conditions – Lighter scenes, reduced boundary artifacts, faster tracing
- Deep surface property integration – Scalable support for custom R/T tables and BSDF definitions
- Multi-objective optimization – Combine optical targets with cost, weight, size, thermal, and system-level constraints
- Open data philosophy – No proprietary lock-in for results, scene data, or generated objects
- Built-in versioning & traceability – Plain-text Python workflows integrate naturally with Git and similar tools
- Native AI support – AI-assisted debugging, model building, workflow generation, and data analysis
- Professional reporting – High-quality plots, custom visualizations, and automated reports, directly in Python
sioRAY delivers physically correct raytracing results, fully scriptable in Python, at a fraction of the time and cost of conventional tools.
