Metallised Polymer Micro-Additive Manufacturing For Satellite Hardware
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 company aims to expand its 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 have significant implications for the space industry, particularly in the production of constellation-class satellites. The initiative was first reported by SpaceNews.
