Product
Reviews
Here
is what some of our customers are saying about using Photopia:
"I've
been a fan of Photopia for several years. It's provides
me with useful results within minutes which allows me to
look at many design iterations in a short amount of time.
I find it invaluable for refractors which are nearly impossible
to prototype."
"We've
used Photopia for several years and believe it has been
the second most important purchase made for product development,
second only to to the purchase of an automated punch press."
"We
are very happy with the accuracy of Photopia. We have
our own goniometer and have made many comparisons between
the predicted and measured results. We have found
Photopia to be so accurate that whenever we have seen a
difference between the measured and predicted performance,
our measurements have turned out to be wrong."
