Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a long range optical apparatus, an operating part of a long range optical apparatus, an accessory part of a long range optical apparatus and a method for producing a long range optical device, in particular, a binocular or monocular telescope, spotting scope, rifle scope, night vision device or range finder, and/or at least one accessory part and/or at least one operating part and/or at least one housing part of the long range optical apparatus, wherein the long range optical apparatus comprises at least one housing, characterized in that the long range optical apparatus and/or the at least one accessory part and/or the at least one operating part and/or the at least one housing part is/are produced at least partially with at least one 3D printing method.
A method for producing at least one of a long range optical apparatus, an accessory part, an operating part, and a housing part of the long range optical apparatus, wherein the long range optical apparatus comprises at least one housing, wherein at least one of the long range optical apparatus, the accessory part, and the operating part is produced at least partially with at least one 3D printing method.
A long range optical apparatus, in particular, binocular or monocular telescope, spotting scope, rifle scope, or range finder, with at least one housing, comprising at least one part that is produced by at least one 3D printing method.
An Accessory part for a long range optical apparatus, in particular, carrying strap, bag, protective case, objective lens cover or eyepiece cover, a holding frame, in particular, anatomically shaped holding fame for attaching the long range optical apparatus to the head of a user, characterized in that the accessory part is produced at least partially with a 3D printing method.
An Operating part, in particular, focus adjustment element, magnification adjustment element, diopter compensation adjustment element, ballistic turret or switch, wherein the operating part is produced at least partially with a 3D printing method.
A 3D printing apparatus with at least one printer controller and at least one electronic memory, wherein the printer controller is configured, by means of data stored in the electronic memory, to control at least one print head for producing an object, wherein at least one 3D model of at least one basic element of a long range optical apparatus or at least one accessory part or at least one operating part or at least one other part of the long range optical apparatus that is to be printed is stored in electronic form in the electronic memory.
