METAL-GRADEPERFORMANCE.

We bond proprietary metallic plating onto 3D-printed parts, making them perform like all-metal CNC parts at a fraction of the cost. Welcome to the next generation of RF manufacturing.

Stop machining.
Start plating.

The Problem

Manufacturers in satcom and RF need small, fast-changing batches of metal parts. Producing low-volume, high-mix antenna and waveguide parts via CNC machining creates massive bottlenecks.

It is prohibitively slow and expensive:

£300 - £1,500 per one-off batch

The Solution

SurfaceMetallics utilizes a proprietary plating process to bond metal onto 3D-printed parts. We deliver the RF performance and robustness of all-metal components, bypassing CNC rigidity entirely.

Validation Roadmap

1

IP Preparation

Preparing intellectual property for filing based on validated processes.

2

Customer Trials

Completion of customer trials with industry partners.

3

Industry Partnerships

Securing strategic partnerships within satcom and RF.

4

Next Round

Raising capital to build the first fully automated prototype.

“There is a growing market for low-cost, low-lead-time, less rugged waveguide devices that are designed to function only within the constraints of their base material’s stability and robustness.”
