Overview

---

Horizon Microtechnologies offers product development and contract manufacturing services for hightech customers across various industries. Its in-house process technologies leverage photopolymer-based additive manufacturing with 10 µm precision and post-build coating processes which, together, allow to create precision-engineered and miniaturized products with a high degree of functional integration.

On one hand, the print material selection is suited to address applications requiring high precision, high-temperature resistance, low thermal expansion and biocompatibility. On the other hand, the coating processes allow the homogeneous deposition of metals such as copper and silver, resistive layers as well as metal-oxide based protective coatings to insulate the part from the environment or vice verse.

Together, the printing and processing technologies are a „best of both worlds” approach, combining the precision, design freedom and repeatability of photopolymer based 3D printing and the beyond-polymer functionalities contributed by the coatings.

Applications and customers served are in electronics, test&measurement, aerospace and medicine.

Legacy

---

Founded in late 2021, Horizon Microtechnologies has pioneered a suite of coating processes explicitely designed for usage with 3D printed parts and the complex geometries and material science aspects these typically feature. Since its inception, it has systematically driven this technology into micro- and mm-wave applications.

Here, the design freedom and lightweight characteristics of 3D printed polymer parts together with highly conductive coatings directly translate into size- and weightsaving components that often even have superior functionality than metallic counterparts, which especially benefits on-the-move and space applications.

Recently, the manufacturing processes have become sufficiently mature and standardized to offer certain components such as horn antennas as off-the-shelf digital models that are produced on demand with very short lead times and near to no extra efforts for small customizations.
