    In order to obtain white light-emitting diode(LED) beams with high uniformity, symmetry and some special shape and intensity distribution to meet certain specific needs, based on the characteristics of white LED light source as lambert light source, the LED beam was shaped by using free-form curved lens method. Two different shaping structures were respectively adopted: Single free-form curved lens and total internal reflection (TIR) lens and microlens array. The processing technology and theoretical analysis were carried out followed by further experiments. The circular uniform spot and rectangular uniform spot were obtained by the experiment. The total light utilization rate of the circular uniform spot is as high as 96%, and the effective light utilization rate of the effective area is 88.4%. The total utilization rate of the rectangular uniform spot is 91%, the effective light utilization rate of the effective area is 78.7%, and the uniformity of the beam is above 60%, respectively. The results show that the method of free surface lens is very effective in shaping the white LED beam. This method provides important guidance for the further wide application of white LED light source.
