The scientists, technicians, and artists of Refractal Design Inc. occasionally make our expertise and production facilities available to traditional high-tech industries in the areas of ion beam physics, material sciences, and ion beam / high-vacuum systems design.
RDI also offers consulting, design and production services to corporations and individual designers interested in applying our high-tech tools to the creation of art. Our current technology allows us to deposit gold, platinum, and other precious metals on a variety of materials in designs with detail finer than the width of a human hair. For example, we recently completed a collaboration with an international corporate client on the design and production of a high-technology sculpture piece for use as an award to their top sales achievers.
As our technology continues to develop, so will the design and production possibilities. Our technical and design staffs are always happy to evaluate your requirements. Please contact Richard Becker at rbecker@refractal.com or the telephone and fax numbers below if you would like to discuss any of our services.
As part of an ongoing effort to equip and upgrade our own lab, we occasionally acquire high-vacuum and related equipment. Periodically, our lab manager tags some equipment as surplus. We usually have several pieces for sale at significant discount over list price. The current list appears below. Unless otherwise noted, all listed equipment is new (unused). We may also have available similar equipment, which is not listed here. We often consider trades.
All prices are in US dollars, shipping not included.
