Types of Dome Screen
Fulldome Cinema
A dome theater, also known as "Dome Film", breaks the previous projection images limitation that can be only regular flat graphics. Its shooting and projection all are used with ultra-wide-angle fisheye lenses.
360 Projection Dome Screen
A planetarium is a theatre built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky, or for training in celestial navigation.
Attractions
Attractions Immersive dome simulations are becoming an integral part of theme park attractions.
Large-format Cinema Dome Theater
Large-format cinema dome theater Cinema dome theater is a hemispherical building. The dome’s inner surface is the projection screen.
Planetarium Projection Domes
Planetarium projection domes the planetarium projection dome is the dome used for planetarium systems projection.
Acoustically Transparent Dome Screen Theaters
Dome screens are mainly include projection domes, planetarium domes, acoustically transparent dome theaters. Usually it consists of one external dome screen and internal dome screen.

The dome screen adopts the general dome screen technology: aluminum alloy frame, bolt link to build the dome screen supporting structure. The projection reflective surface is machined in hyperbolic forming to present the brilliant pictures projected by the projection equipment.
Resistance and stability:Dome screens are inherently strong and stable structures due to their geometric shape. The even distribution of weight across the dome surface allows it to support significant loads without the need for columns or internal supports.
Efficiency in the use of materials:Dome screens require less material than other forms of construction, such as rectangular structures, to achieve the same strength.
Wide and open interior spaces: The lack of columns and internal supports in the dome screens provide wide and open interior spaces, making them ideal for a variety of purposes, from churches and auditoriums to stadiums and warehouses.
Thermal and acoustic insulation: Dome screens can provide effective heat and sound insulation due to their shape and construction.
Application of Dome Screen
Astronomy and planetariums
Dome screens are essential for planetarium shows that provide educational and entertaining presentations about space, celestial objects, and astronomical phenomena.
Aquariums and museums
Many aquariums and science museums use dome screens to enhance exhibits.
Entertainment venues
In addition to education, dome screens are used in entertainment venues such as IMAX theaters and multimedia galleries.
Simulation and training
Dome screens simulate real-world scenarios for professional training purposes in aviation, military, healthcare, and other fields.
Research and development
Scientific research involving data visualization, spatial modeling, and simulation phenomena use dome screens.
Schools
It is widely used in planetarium of large, middle and primary schools at all levels, providing high quality products for astronomy teaching and geography teaching in schools all over the world.
Ensure the supporting structure can withstand the weight and stress of the dome screen. Verify load-bearing capacity and stability.
Use precise measurement tools to align the dome screen correctly, ensuring optimal viewing angles and minimal distortion.
Ensure the dome surface is clean, smooth, and free from debris or unevenness before installation.
Use appropriate mounting brackets and fasteners to securely attach the dome screen to the structure.
Customization Process
Detailed design
Our designers use 3D modelling software to create a 3D model of the products required. This is then sent to our customers for checking. If any changes are required the design may go through a few iterations until everyone is happy with the final version and then this is signed of by our customers.
Confirm the design
Once our customer has agreed to the detailed design we then design a manufacturing level model. This model details the support structure, the frame and the panels, right down to where holes will be and what size fixings will be used.
Manufacturing
During the initial discussion pre-contract we will give an indication of the manufacturing time needed for the screen. Depending on the factory loading, manufacturing can be very fast and efficient. Our customers are kept informed of progress and are given dates in advance for when their product will be ready for shipping.
Quality Control
Every step of our products manufacture and installation is strictly monitored to ensure that all of the elements meet our very high standards. Anything that does not meet our very high standards is redone to ensure our products are the highest quality available.
Logistics
We offer the option of having products shipped to site and will provide accurate delivery information to our customers prior to product delivery. This service combined with design, manufacture and the installation process means that our customers don’t have the stress or problems that can arise through unforeseen circumstances.
Installation
We supply a fully trained installation team who are experts at what they do. On some larger installations we may require some local labour to give unskilled assistance, but this is rare and specified before the contract is signed.
Handover
At the end of each installation the end client and our customer are invited to inspect the quality of workmanship and identify any items that they are not happy with. Any items that need to be rectified are done there and then and then the product is signed off.
MOQ: Depending on your item shape and material, the MOQ is about 1 piece.
Payment: We agree TT in advance, LC, Paypal, Western union, all ok.
Shipping: We send orders by air and sea.
Delivery Time: The lead time depends on the type/model and the total number of units you are ordering. So it may be as short as 8 weeks or as long as 20 weeks. If your order includes personalized customizations, it could take even longer, depending on the final design.
Packaging: The products are carefully packed in large wooden boxes. The size and quantity of wooden boxes depend on the number of product configurations. The box is filled with cushioning material to prevent damage from conduction or vibration.
