(Chandler, Ariz., U.S.) an engineered materials company for advanced connectivity and power electronics, announced a partnership to enable the additive manufacturing (AM) of low-loss dielectric materials for radio frequency (RF) devices and electronics using Fortify’s Flux 3D printer series for fiber- and particle-filled photopolymers. The partnership will allow the leveraging of both company’s areas of expertise to unlock scalable manufacturing of high-value RF components. For example, Roger Corp.’s market dominance in low-loss, RF materials and Fortify’s advanced composite processing capabilities will enable customers to efficiently design and print precision substrates, Luneberg-like Gradient Refractive Index lenses and end-use components. Fortify’s Continuous Kinetic Mixing (CKM)-powered digital light processing (DLP) platform enables high-throughput production of fine-featured parts out of heavily loaded materials that are otherwise difficult to process.
