Problem
In 2008 Christie Digital Systems Inc. approached Fibergrate regarding a 3-D imagery unit for training simulation purposes for the U.S. Joint Forces Command (JFCOM). They required a cost effective structure to house and support all camera and monitors for the 3-D imagery. The structure needed to be non-conductive and RF transparent. The design of the structure needed to be extremely rigid to prevent projection movement.
Solution
GRP was chosen by Christie Digital due to it being electronically and thermally non-conductive and has high strength to weight ratio. A strategic and calculated set of plans were created with the use of Dynaform® Structural Shapes to create a customized structure to meet the performance requirements of the customer.
Award
The U.S. Joint Forces Command presented Christie Digital Systems Inc. with an award for the cave structure for their 3-D imagery unit. Christie Digital then presented Stephen Clark, the District Manager responsible for the contract, with an award in February 2010.
