Dream's
zeroDELTA™ .mirrors, CF &
CFSC™ structures are enabling
the future of modern ground, air, balloon, sounding rocket &
space with superb next
generation price to performance. |
|
|
|
|
Roughly 90% of what Dream
produces is custom. Optimizing advanced structures & leading-edge
(installed performance) optical solutions for a specific purpose
is our norm.
100% of our products are
made in the US. |
|
|
|
|
Dream designs, engineers and produces carbon fiber parts and finished assemblies, as well as bubble-free
cast glass engineered lightweight
precision optical mirrors;
from 20mm to over 1m. The interior of our largest composite oven
is 3.66m wide, 1.83m deep and 1.68m tall. Both of Dream's core
technologies are produced in-house in Nazareth, Pennsylvania
(USA). |

Carbon Fiber Structures: |
|
- Design, Engineering (FEM/FEA) and In-House
Production since 2003 |
|
- Specializing in Low-Void Carbon Fiber, especially Dream's CFSC™ (Carbon
Fiber skinned Sandwich
Core) Parts,
Sub-Assemblies & Main Structures |
|
- From Small To Large Parts: Dream's largest
composite oven 6' x 12' x 6' |
|
- Vacuum-Bagged & Oven-Baked Parts Using High-Temperture
Epoxy |
|
- 95% Carbon Fiber Optical Assemblies
By Weight Of The Structures (no optics),
Stainless Steel Hardware & Dream's Stainless
Steel Inserts For The Greatest Performance, Longevity &
Low Maintenance. |
|
|
Dream's CF and CFSC™ performance
is unusually high because our engineered
advanced composite structures have been created from the ground
up specifically for demanding opto-mechanical
systems, not open-market composites. |

Dream's zeroDELTA™
lightweight mirrors have both unrivaled engineering and performance
because we put just as much engineering in the lightweight mirror
as the mirror mount. Dream is also at the cutting
edge due to the thin features of the zeroDELTA™ lightweight mirrors. |
|
It takes far more than a good foundation (mirror substrate) to
achieve real-world performance; |
|
"It's impossible to talk about actual performance
of systems and of individual optics without addressing how humans
are influencing that data."
Shane Santi - Dream's

"Your company does phenomenal work. Dream's
engineering sets their lightweight mirrors apart from competitors.
Your engineering goes beyond the lightweight aspect. You focus
on actual performance!" |

zeroDELTA™ aspheres have been
finished to L/125 (5nm) RMS surface, 2Å (0.2nm) RMS surface
roughness, with radii as tight as 0.002% of nominal. They can
be finished to a super-polish
(1Å (0.1nm) or less), which is limited by the process
& optical metrology, not the zeroDELTA™ mirrors. |

Dream creates world-class highly engineered
lightweight mirrors with solid mirror-level Mid-Spatial
Frequency (MSF) errors, validating
Dream's engineering, expertise and paradigm-shifting high-performance,
lower cost lightweight mirrors. For ground, air & space. |

A f1.0 Dream zeroDELTA™
lightweight mirror for aerospace prime. |
|
|
|
 |
|
During the coldest weather in at least
25 years, Dream finishes two more zeroDELTA™
mirrors in its extremely stable polishing
& test room. |

European manufacturer receives Dream's 250mm CA fully
generated & perforated zeroDELTA™ mirror blank.
Later receiving multiple convex
secondary mirror blanks and 300mm CA primary mirror blanks as
well. |

Dream casts and fully
processes a bubble-free f1.376 mirror for an Adaptive
Optics project. The mirror is six
times lower in areal density than
Hubble's M1, but can be finished with conventional polishing
techniques & equipment. |
