Industrialising Metallised Polymer Micro-Additive Manufacturing
Horizon Microtechnologies is accelerating the industrialisation of its metallised polymer micro-additive manufacturing platform through the IP-MASS project, supported by €500,000 and reinforced by selection for ESA Phi-Lab Austria. The programme aims to expand printing, coating, and process-verification capabilities for shielding housings and other passive RF hardware, targeting up to 50,000 precision-coated satellite components. This development may strengthen Horizon’s position in the space industry, as reported by SpaceNews.
