An open-source Python/Jupyter project that computes mirror angles for a 3D-printable hexagonal mirror array reflecting sunlight into arbitrary patterns, including ray-tracing visualizations and printable model generation. It documents the full design, from optics math to 3D printing and assembly.
Use cases
- generate a 3D-printable mirror array that projects an arbitrary image with sunlight
- compute mirror angles to reflect light onto a target focal plane
- learn the optics and geometry behind angled mirror arrays
- visualize ray tracing of sunlight through a mirror grid
- build a custom sunlight projection art project
When to choose
- you want to fabricate a physical mirror array projecting a custom pattern
- you want a worked educational example of reflection geometry and ray tracing in Python
When to avoid
- you need production optics simulation software
- you want a ready-made product rather than a DIY project requiring a 3D printer and assembly
