Skypoint Tecno Dome

Our new line of planetarium domes uses a new technology studied and developed together with a leading manufacturer of fiberglass structures in Italy.

Skypoint "Tecno Dome" not only ensures a better projection quality, but also a longer life, a perfectly spherical shape and almost no maintenance.

Tecno Dome is made of fiber composite plastics and fiberglass. It is composed by a few segments bolted and glued together to form a single final structure. Moreover Tecno Dome has a L-shaped profile on the bottom, useful, for instance, to provide radent lighting.

The dome has been developed to be supported by appropriate columns and possibly held in place by tie rods (in case of large diameters), in number and size to be quantified according to project or customer requirements. Columns can be concrete, brick or steel made.
