05 — The factory
Designed, machined and refined under one roof.
A premium, Australian-made alternative to global brands — engineered for stability and optical performance, refined through rigorous prototyping.
- CAD & simulation
Every part is modelled, simulated and drawn before metal is cut.
- CNC-machined aluminium
Cells, rings, plates and piers machined in-house to tight tolerances.
- Carbon-fibre structures
Stiff, thermally stable tubes and trusses for long-exposure imaging.
- Prototype & refine
Designs are proven on real instruments before they reach you.
