Design to Manufacture

The company boasts premier engineering in which each lead designer has over 20 years experience, coupled with state-of-the-art prototype and manufacturing facilities. Clear Align combines expertise in optical, mechanical, electric and software development in one supplier. Our Design-for-Manufacture approach enables ruggedized and cost-effective products to be delivered to market quickly. We specialize in integrating Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) solutions that provide both reliability and cost reduction.

Our well-defined product development cycle provides stage gates appropriate to the aerospace market for each step of development, including system requirements review (SRR), preliminary design review (PDR), critical design review (CDR), and manufacturing readiness reviews (MRR).

Facility

Our development and manufacturing facility boasts Class 100 to Class 10,000 assembly and coupling with precision down to 0.1 µm in an ISO 9001:2000 compliant environment. As an added bonus, Clear Align can fully qualify your devices in house to ensure they meet your stringent environmental and mechanical requirements. Our design and prototyping team is closely integrated with our precision manufacturing operations, making Clear Align the ideal location for complex system assembly.

Market Requirements

Clear Align understands the regulatory requirements of the aerospace market and provides engineering expertise on the more sensitive flight programs. ITAR compliant production and a DCAA compliant operation serve our aerospace clients.

A wide variety of off-the-shelf and pre-engineered solutions for lenses and systems in visible and infrared provides cost effective ways to address industrial imaging applications such as machine vision, security, and scientific applications.

Optical Design and Prototype

With the rapid integration of fiber optics and imaging technology, the commercial market has seen many changes. Many customers find themselves facing newly emerged applications without sufficient background in optical design and assembly to meet the market requirements. Technologies and innovations as varied as thermal imaging and fiber-optic detection enable our customers to manufacturing optical systems that were once considered impossible or improbable. Clear Align can help these customers overcome significant technical challenges to open pathways for meeting the demands of their marketplace.
