Segmented Reflector Design Software

ReflectorCAD® from Breault Research Organization (BRO) allows easy click-and-drag construction and analysis of segmented reflectors, greatly reducing the time required from design to prototype. ReflectorCAD can be used anywhere segmented reflectors are required. It works well as a stand-alone application, or in conjunction with ASAP® and ELTM Module. ASAP is BRO's non-sequential ray tracing program, which includes powerful capabilities for modeling physical optics, imaging, and illumination systems. More information on ASAP.

Key ReflectorCAD Capabilities
