One of the challenges this cutting-edge technology brings is extremely strict material requirements for projector components. RTP Company worked closely with Sarif and PolyCast, Inc., a close-tolerance molder located in Tigard, OR, to ensure material requirements were met and processability was maintained in spite of high levels of reinforcement. The compound's base resin features very high heat resistance and excellent physical property retention at elevated temperatures. The projectors use polysilicone LCDs made with two sheets of quartz substrate which are bonded to the carrier adapters. The carriers are then attached to metal plates on a glass cube.
Various materials involved pose several challenges including adhesion.
The slightest distortion could lead to misalignment, and the projected images would be unacceptable. This material's low coefficient of thermal expansion is critical to the application's success. PolyCast, Inc. is a custom injection molder specializing in critical tolerance molding for numerous markets. They offer complete design, engineering, production and automation capabilities.
