Our micro-AM process allows for the fabrication of passive RF components starting directly with CAD models typically derived from simulation software. This enables fast, flexible, and precise manufacturing, whether for proof-of-concept prototypes or small-to-medium scale production. Features like corrugations in horn antennas or internal interconnects between waveguides as in couplers become not only feasible but straightforward. Beyond enabling geometric complexity, our additive process also reduces part count, weight, and assembly time — consolidating what once took multiple machined parts into a single, high-performance structure.

What truly sets us apart is our capability to metallise 3D printed polymer structures, imparting the necessary conductivity for high-frequency performance while also delivering the precision, surface finish, and weight advantage of photopolymer-based 3D printing. We also offer additional coating options — such as ceramic-like or environmentally protective finishes — that boost the durability, chemical resistance, and reliability of components for demanding environments.

Just as any other fabrication process, our approach has unique parameters and design rules which need to be followed. These affect electromagnetic behaviour, hence Horizon integrates RF design and simulation support directly into the development process. In contract development projects, we collaborate with customers to fine-tune their designs and optimise geometries in line with both electromagnetic and manufacturing constraints. This accelerates development time, reduces prototyping cycles, and results in better-performing end-use products.

We offer a complete one-stop-shop — from design consultation and simulation to prototyping and series production. Whether you need horn-type antennas, or bespoke antennas with added functionalities like the multiplexing of several bands or polarization splitting,  Horizon provides a commercially viable route from concept to deployment, with unmatched precision and agility.
