I wonder if anyone tried making lens out of its outputs using transparent 3D printer resin?
You could get rid of the layer lines with post-processing like grinding/polishing, but grinding/polishing is how lenses are traditionally made anyway. Maybe you get to skip the first few steps (rough shaping of the glass blank), but you're still probably left with an optically inferior product.
It seems that dipping the lens in resin is the best solution.
