KVANT wins iF Design Award
- Details
The iF award stands for outstanding design and is a badge of excellent quality for professional and trade users. For this winning project, KVANT cooperated with the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Werkemotion - Transport and Industrial design studio based in Bratislava.
The jury of 132 independent experts from around the world found the innovative design and the foamed aluminium material used within the product exciting. Foamed aluminium is made from aluminium semi-product, which expands its internal structure when heated to a foaming temperature. Apart from lower weight, smaller footprint and increased firmness, it allowed us virtually unlimited shaping, resulting in this extraordinary design.
At the same time, it is an efficient insulating material, making the projector housing quite resistant to outside temperatures. Moreover, the housing is easy to assemble and offers quick access to the optical compartment and the bottom electronic section. As a result, the new chassis is 30% lighter, significantly smaller and more robust than its predecessors and most conventional hard-shell laser projectors. The casings for Atoms and Spectrums are finished with the Raptor Liner top coating - tough and scratch-resistant paint, ensuring long-lasting protection.
The new internal structure of laser modules, the optical compartment itself, and the fact that everything is built around the floating heat sink with enhanced shock absorption offer excellent resistance to beam misalignment caused by rough handling and vibrations.
Atom and Spectrum are powerful full-colour laser projectors suitable for large-scale outdoor displays, with power output ranging from 34 to 58 Watts.
