We are open to exploring other powders at your request.

Vitesse Systems has the machining resources required for removing parts from the bases and supports that are necessary during the additive manufacturing process. We have the ability to electroplate gold, silver, nickel, and copper in-house. We also have the capability to heat treat parts based on your requirements or ours. We are continually developing new methodologies for improving surface roughness.

Vitesse Systems uses Materialise Magics software to aid in determining the printability of designs. Our engineering teams are rapidly expanding our understanding of designing printable parts while maintaining critical RF, thermal, or mechanical performance.

We have printed and successfully tested a variety of our existing parts including horns, OMTs, and feed array networks. Our team has improved these builds to reduce the mass and number of parts required by taking advantage of the design constraints removed by additive manufacturing.

Due to this experience, we are confident in our ability to print parts that will consistently meet industry mechanical and RF specifications.

We are currently qualifying our AM machines and processes with multiple aerospace customers. We are developing an internal qualification standard based on NASA-STD-6030 as a guideline. Reach out today to discuss your qualification requirements.
