Key Features

• ISO 13485 Certified: Full traceability for medical device integration ensures every component is tracked from raw material to final product, meeting strict regulatory demands. This certification streamlines audits, supports compliance with global medical standards, and builds trust in device safety for healthcare providers and patients alike.​
• Rapid Prototyping: Get functional samples in 3–4 weeks, accelerating the development of medical devices like surgical scopes and diagnostic tools. This speed lets engineers test form, fit, and function early, refining designs to meet clinical needs without delaying time-to-market for critical healthcare innovations.​
• Zero Defect Guarantee: 100% inspected via Zygo interferometry and atomic force microscopy ensures flawless components, eliminating risks of device failure in medical settings. This rigorous testing catches micro-imperfections, guaranteeing reliability in life-saving equipment where precision and consistency are non-negotiable.​
• Scalable Production: Order 100 to 50,000+ units annually with consistent quality, adapting seamlessly to growing demand for medical devices. Whether scaling up for global distribution or meeting niche clinical needs, the production line maintains strict standards, ensuring each unit performs as reliably as the first.

Parameters

Note: Specifications can be customized to meet specific requirements.

Applications

• Satellite optical communication payloads: Enable high-speed data transmission between orbiting satellites and ground stations with minimal signal loss, leveraging low-loss optical components. These systems maintain stability amid orbital vibrations and radiation, ensuring reliable connectivity for global communications and Earth observation networks.​
• Hyperspectral imaging systems for surveillance drones: Capture detailed spectral data across 200+ bands, identifying materials and anomalies invisible to the naked eye. Lightweight, vibration-resistant optics ensure consistent image quality during long flights, aiding in border patrol, environmental monitoring, and disaster response missions.​
• Laser rangefinders in armored vehicles: Deliver precise distance measurements (±0.5m at 10km) even in dusty or foggy conditions, critical for target acquisition and navigation. Ruggedized optics withstand vehicle vibrations and shock, maintaining accuracy in combat environments where split-second decisions matter.​
• High-energy laser weapon beam steering: Precisely direct laser beams with sub-milliradian accuracy, even under high thermal loads, to engage fast-moving targets. Advanced materials resist heat-induced distortion, ensuring the beam stays focused on target for effective, energy-efficient operation in defense systems.​
• Space telescope primary mirrors: Maintain <λ/20 surface accuracy across extreme temperature swings (-150°C to +50°C) to capture sharp cosmic imagery. Large, lightweight designs (up to 8m diameter) minimize launch mass while maximizing light-gathering power, enabling breakthroughs in astrophysics and planetary science.​
