Summary
Horizon is pioneering a suite of processes explicitly designed for three-dimensional coating of challenging part shapes. It allows to join the best of 2 worlds: The precision, design freedom and resolution of polymer 3D printing and additional functionalities contributed by the coatings such as conductivity or environmental resilience. Applications are found wherever precision and miniaturization are required. Based on this, we supply millimeter wave (mm-wave) antennas and waveguide based components and act as a contract development and manufacturing partner for our customers.
Customers
- Monolithically integrated, lightweight antennas and other mm-wave components via 3D printing / SWaP-optimized components
(at IAC, this will be predominantly for aerospace companies that make flying systems themselves or radars and telecom systems, I expect. Generally, we also target all kinds of measurement technology vendors and UAVs with this offering. )
- 3d printed electronics packaging
(can be interesting one step down in the supply chain with respect to previous point, I think. This is basically about the housing of special ICs and electronics assemblies. Here, the housings need to be more than just a mechanical and protecting element: They also have to have a means to conduct electricity and signals and it’s actually more complicated than it sounds to design and make such things).
- prototyping and rapid small series production
