Projects & Experience
Our light simulation projects range from publicly funded research to industrial development assignments. A significant proportion of our light simulation work is carried out in an industrial context and is subject to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). We take this confidentiality very seriously — while the following examples nonetheless provide insight into our methodological competence and the breadth of our work.
Publicly Funded Project – ZIM (Central Innovation Programme for SMEs)
(completed 08/2025)
The objective of this ZIM project was the largely automated optimization of optical systems and light guide geometries for defined photometric target parameters. A continuous, simulation-based workflow was developed that systematically links geometry variation, evaluation, and optimization.
A license plate holder served as the demonstrator, which was optimized and subsequently realized in a physical assembly. The final demonstrator is based entirely on simulation-optimized components and now serves as a tangible reference model.
The developed workflow forms the basis for executing future client projects faster, more efficiently, and at higher quality. It can be flexibly adapted to other application scenarios and tailored to project-specific requirements.
Further Project Experience
We also handle numerous light simulation projects for clients across a broad range of industries, including industrial applications, security systems, and technically complex products with a sustainability focus. Typical project scope includes:
- Design and evaluation of illumination and signaling concepts
- Support for technology and material transitions
- Virtual validation of development decisions to reduce prototyping effort
The examples listed here represent only a small, deliberately selected subset and are intended to convey the scope of possibilities in light simulation.
Networks
ITB GmbH is actively engaged in relevant professional and industry networks — through knowledge exchange, collaborative partnerships, and technical contributions:
- CADFEM Community
- SNUG – Synopsys User Group
- Simchronize Network
- BVMW – German Association for Small and Medium-sized Businesses
- VDMA HealthTech
- Optence Network
Our continuous presence in networks, at trade fairs, and at conferences allows us to identify technological trends at an early stage and translate them directly into client project work.

“For me, sustainability begins in development. With precise light simulations, we create the basis for energy-efficient, standard-compliant products – even in the digital design. My goal is to design this technology in such a way that small and medium-sized companies also benefit from it: affordable, practical, forward-looking.”
