Workshop brings the complete laboratory operation into one connected environment, giving teams visibility and control from design and order entry through manufacturing, quality, traceability, invoicing and shipping.
WHAT WORKSHOP CAN DO FOR YOU?
Workshop extends FocalPoints beyond design and manufacturing into complete laboratory operations, connecting production, quality, traceability and business processes around a common flow of data.
MANUFACTURING MADE SIMPLE
FocalPoints simplifies lens manufacturing by bringing designs, orders, production and equipment into one integrated workflow. It helps labs reduce manual tasks, improve efficiency and maintain consistent quality while keeping control over production. The core manufacturing workflow remains consistent across FocalPoints editions, so licensed and proprietary designs are handled through the same production logic and operators can move to broader capabilities without changing established manufacturing routines.
DESIGN WITHOUT LIMITS
FocalPoints Designer gives your laboratory the tools to create and refine its own specialty lens designs, combining flexible geometry, simulation and advanced design capabilities within the same environment used for production. Integrated analysis tools let designers test geometry, optical behaviour and manufacturability before cutting a lens, helping reduce trial-and-error and shorten development time.
PERSONALISED OPTICS
enVisus® extends FocalPoints with wavefront-guided HOA correction, allowing laboratories to add personalized optics to existing lens designs without changing established design or manufacturing workflows. This makes advanced correction easier to introduce in production while preserving the design logic and processes already in use.
CONTROL PRODUCTION
FocalPoints Workshop coordinates manufacturing tasks, equipment and production data through structured workflows. Barcode-driven operations reduce repeated input, while connected equipment and automated processes help maintain consistency across the production floor.
TRACE EVERYTHING
The FocalPoints Workshop Full Traceability module creates a complete history of every lens as it moves through production. Manufacturing activities are automatically recorded with timestamps and operator information, giving laboratories a clear record from production through shipping. All data can be accessed from a single interface, making it faster to retrieve information, investigate issues and support quality and regulatory requirements.
SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING
The Manufacturing Live Dashboard, an optional feature for Workshop editions, offers a dynamic interface for real-time production analysis. This tool enables informed decision-making, with automatic updates and instant access to manufacturing data to spot trends, patterns, and potential issues.
Advance Medical meticulously and seamlessly transferred our established lens designs and manufacturing expertise from our legacy environment into FocalPoints. By modernizing our business framework through this process, they not only provided us with a more sustainable platform for the future but also significantly expanded our strategic options and scalability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I create my own designs in Workshop?
Yes, FocalPoints Workshop allows you to create your own designs—whether for corneal, scleral, Ortho-K, soft, or hybrid RGP lenses. Designs can be symmetric, toric, quadrant-specific, or fully free-form, with spherical or aspherical profiles. The available simulation tools support the development of both monofocal and multifocal lenses. Special Features can also be integrated into your designs, offering additional control and unique design tools.
What's the advantage of Full Traceability?
The Full Traceability module is exclusive to Workshop and gathers all the information logged by every FP program during the manufacturing process. The entire lens history, from production to shipping, can be accessed from a single interface. Every task performed on the lens is recorded by the system, tracking the operation details, the date/time and the operator's name.
Can I have Live Monitoring tools?
Yes. The Manufacturing Live Dashboard is an optional module available exclusively with FocalPoints Workshop editions. It provides a dynamic, real-time view of your production environment, giving you instant access to key metrics and operational data. With automatic updates and visual insights, labs can quickly identify trends, optimize performance, and address potential issues before they impact efficiency—making it an essential tool for data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.
Is it compatible with current equipment?
Yes, Workshop is fully integrated with a wide range of laboratory equipment. Whether you’re using lathes, topographers for lens fitting or inspection tools for quality control, Workshop can integrate smoothly with most industry-standard devices. For a full list check our Integrations page.
