Horizon Microtechnologies launches Product Shop

Horizon Microtechnologies, a manufacturer of 3D microparts, has launched its Product Shop – a streamlined platform offering both standardized and customized horn antennas.

Horn antennas are a critical component for RF applications across industries including telecommunications, aerospace, satellite communications, and radar systems. Horizon leverages its refined micro-AM-based technology – combined with precision coating techniques – to produce horn antennas that overcome the limitations of traditional manufacturing.

The company’s technology ensures antennas that are: up to 6x lighter than those made using traditional methods; highly customizable at a negligible extra cost; produced with a seamless workflow – eliminating extra conversion efforts and associated time delays; and produced with short lead times.

The combination of micro-AM and precision coatings allows Horizon to deliver parts with unparalleled geometric complexity and design freedom. While this is generally not of direct interest to the production of horn antenna, it is particularly significant in areas of the RF components market, where advanced designs often translate directly into improved performance – such as higher signal integrity, reduced interference, and optimized radiation patterns.

“Our Product Shop marks an important milestone in Horizon’s journey. The maturity and scalability of our processes allow us to offer horn antennas that are lightweight and customizable at competitive cost and with superior lead time. Traditional manufacturing can sometimes struggle to deliver complex RF components efficiently, particularly when customization is required. With micro-AM and our advanced coatings, we are changing the game. Using established manufacturing techniques, seemingly small modifications to an antenna could have a significant impact on manufacturability. Now, customization no longer comes at a premium – it’s effectively part of the package. Customers can achieve designs that were previously impossible, with rapid production and a quote in their hands within 48 hours of inquiry,” said Andreas Frölich, CEO of Horizon Microtechnologies.

The Product Shop provides a seamless and user-friendly interface, enabling customers to: explore a selection of standardized horn antennas; request fully customized designs tailored to their specific needs; and receive a personalized quote within 2 working days – ensuring fast project turnaround.
