SWISSto12 secures $10M to supply 3D printed RF equipment

SWISSto12, a manufacturer of satellite and Radio Frequency (RF) products, has been awarded a USD 10 million contract to provide a European aeronautical OEM with equipment for improved safety at sea. This news follows the recent announcement that SWISSto12 will supply RF antennas to Northrop Grumman for a communication satellite application.

SWISSto12 offers a broad portfolio of antenna systems – leveraging the company’s innovative designs and proprietary 3D printing technology to deliver next-generation RF communication and sensing products qualified for maritime, airborne, and ground applications.

The company has the world’s largest IP portfolio in the use of 3D printing for RF product applications. The company’s RF products are lightweight, compact, and robust, and offer industry-leading performance that is ideal for applications in demanding environments such as at sea.

“Legacy antennas were restricted by traditional manufacturing and assembly constraints. SWISSto12’s proprietary 3D printing technologies allow for the additive manufacture of highly complex, lightweight antenna designs that optimize performance and throughput while enhancing coverage flexibility. This introduces a new category of antenna performance which has broad benefits for safety applications in maritime, airborne, and ground environments,” said Frank Schreckenbach, Chief Product Officer at SWISSto12.
