Designing a Deployable Planetarium
![Primaira worked with the client to improve the usability of a deployable planetarium. Here, an early sketch of the planetarium.](https://www.primaira.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/project9blurbpic2.png)
Our client produces a portable, inflatable planetarium for teaching school children about astonomy.
We designed and prototyped a system that improved the usability of the product and leveraged the in-house manufacturing capabilities of our client.
We characterized key performance requirements, identified critical components, performed mechanical analyses, and drew from our experience with air moving devices to provide a compact, high-performance design for their sewn inflatable dome and projection system.
