MDL to show additive manufacturing with waveguides, rotary joints and switches
MDL custom designs rotary joints and switches in different models that meet or exceed specified electrical and mechanical requirements. Rotary joints based on rigid waveguide provide high-performance and dependable connections in many commercial and military RF/microwave systems.
On Wednesday, September 21st at 15h00 MDL will speak on the subject of “Additive Manufacturing Techniques for the Production of RF Components.” This presentation, to be given by the company’s Tom WcWalters, will showcase different additive manufacturing (AM) techniques used for the production of passive RF components, specifically waveguide components.
Tom will discuss Multi-Jet and Laser Beam Melting approaches and present examples of MDL products manufactured using AM technology. These AM techniques can save customers production cost and increase deliverability while maintaining good accuracy and reproducibility of RF components.
