Dream designs, engineerings
and produces carbon
fiber parts and finished
assemblies, as well as engineered
lightweight optical mirrors. Both of Dream's core technologies are produced in-house
in Nazareth, Pennsylvania (USA). ABE airport is less than
15 minutes from Dream. |

Dream produces standard,
existing designs, but can design, analyze and produce 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 by using truly modern materials,
techniques and designs. This can include the use of carbon fiber
lens barrels and internal spacers for improved dynamic temperature
performance of corrective optics. |
|
Finished instruments
have the lowest possible maintenance due to Dream's unique technologies.
Dream's telescopes are low in total mass, have an extremely low
CTE, are corrosion resistant and have a higher stiffness (and strength) to
weight ratio than conventional manufacturers. They are designed
from the ground up for remote/robotic use. Because of their near
zero maintenance they are ideal for border survelience, science,
education and numerous additional applications. |
|
|
Dream works in the
UV, visual, NIR, Mid to Far IR. Used for; lasercom, LIDAR, AO,
astmospheric research, surveys, discoveries, airborne, balloon-borne,
optical systems used in demanding thermal environments, etc. |
|
|
Customers using Dream's
technologies: US Air Force, NASA, Raytheon, Honeywell, numerous
government R&D labs, Universities, Professionals, as well
as numerous OEM's, for world-wide customers. Dream is currently
registered with DOD & DOE customers, as well as sam.gov. |
