Dream is an advanced composites and engineered
lightweight mirrors
company that specializes in high stiffness, high performance
products for demanding opto-mechanical applications. Dream designs,
engineers (including
FEM/FEA) and fabricates dedicated mirror mounts, backplates,
telescope tubes, and more using carbon fiber and carbon fiber
skinned sandwich
core technology, produced
in-house (Pennsylvania, USA) and baked in one of Dream's ovens. |
|
|
Since 2003 Dream has
been specializing in solutions for our customers. Our expertise
in unique carbon fibers, sandwich cores, epoxies and fabrication
techniques allow us to produce products with exceptional performance,
as well as part-to-part consistency. Place your company at the
top of your market by using Dream's advanced composites. |

Dream can design and
analyze a wide range of optical systems, from numerous forms
of Cassegrains to corrected Newtonians to wide field 1m Prime
Focus Telescopes. Our lead optical engineer has 35 years of both
design and implementation experience, especially with fast &
demanding optical systems. Dream's technologies enable our customers
to get the most out of their high performance systems. |
|
Finished instruments
have the lowest possible maintenance due to Dream's unique technologies.
They have an extremely low CTE, are corrosion resistant and have
a higher stiffness (and
strength) to weight ratio
than conventional materials. They are designed from the ground
up for remote/robotic use; controlled and programmed through
the Internet. Because of their near zero maintenance they are
also ideal for educational use. |
|
|
|
Specific raw goods can be chosen
for high
modulus, high strength
or both. As well as tailored CTE's. Dream works with many types
of raw fibers and sandwich
core. The underlying
goal is always to produce the stiffest overall opto-mechanical
structure possible, while also being as athermal as possible.
The latter has far-reaching ramifications; focus & benefits
for mirror mounts. Dream's optimization of materials allows for
the utmost in performance, making Dream solely unique
in the world. |

Dream works in the
UV, visual, NIR, Mid to Far IR. Used for; lasercom, LIDAR, AO,
astmospheric research, surveys, discoveries, etc. |
