Method for assembling three-dimensional optical components and assembly kit

1. A method for assembling, a three-dimensional optical component from a base body, comprising:

providing the base body and loading the base body on a substrate into a printer in a providing step,

depositing droplets of printing ink on a first surface of the base body in a first printing step in order to build up an intermediate first pre-structure,

depositing droplets of printing ink on a second surface of the base body in a second printing step in order to build up an intermediate second pre-structure,

rotating the first pre-structure and arranging the first pre-structure on a support structure in a rearrangement step between the first printing step and the second printing step,

wherein the support structure comprises a carrier substructure and an extension of the base body rests at least partially on the carrier structure, and

wherein the support structure comprises a carrier substructure and an extension of the base body rests at least partially on the carrier substructure, and

wherein the carrier substructure comprises a fixation means which fixes the first pre-structure to the carrier substructure at the beginning of the rearrangement step and wherein the first pre-structure is rotated with the support structure during the rearrangement step.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure comprises a deformation-control substructure.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base body comprises a flat disk.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a porous substrate and the base body is clamped to the substrate through a vacuum.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base body is released from the substrate at the end of the first printing step.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure is printed between the first printing step and the rearrangement step.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the support structure is loaded into the printer between the first printing step and the rearrangement step.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation means comprises a vacuum chamber.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base body comprises a functional layer between a first and a second cover layer.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the functional layer comprises an optical component and/or an electrical component.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base body comprises a functional element.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the base body is pre-structured in a first surface preparation step between the providing step and the first printing step in order to enhance adhesion properties of the first surface.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the second surface of the base body is pre-structured in a second surface preparation step between the rearrangement step and the second printing step in order to enhance adhesion properties of the second surface.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second surface of the base body is pre-structured in a second surface preparation step between the rearrangement step and the second printing step in order to enhance adhesion properties of the second surface.

15. The method according to claim 1 , herein the base body is loaded from a stack of base bodies in the providing step.
