Satellite antennas can be 3D-printed in space with the help of sunlight using a new patented technique that promises to do away with clunky satellite parts that take up space in a rocket.

In fall 2024, NASA developed and tested a 3D-printed antenna to demonstrate a low-cost capability to communicate science data to Earth. The antenna, tested in flight using an atmospheric weather ...

The new platform, dubbed charge programmed deposition multi-material 3D printing (CPD), is a universal system for rapid production of nearly all 3D antenna systems.

After extensive experimentation, the team altered the ratio of nickel and titanium. However, the first attempt to create a shape-shifting horn antenna using 3D-printed nitinol fell short.

In Georgia Tech’s new approach, flexible and 3D-printed manufactured tiles are attached to a flexible underlying layer. Each tile includes an antenna subarray and a beamforming IC.

As part of this venture, Fleet Space Technologies brings 3D Systems’ DMP Flex 350 for in-house antenna production in its headquarters at Beverley, Adelaide. These RF patch antennas will be ...
