“…Swissto12 is a world-leading commercial spin-out company from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). In 2012, they reported the 3-D printing of passive structures for millimeter-wave and terahertz applications in their short note [10]. More recently, since 2014, Swissto12 have been advertising 3-D printed metal coated plastic (MCP) waveguides and diagonal pyramidal horn antennas [11,12].…”

Abstract-Additive manufacturing using 3-D printing is an emerging technology for the production of high performance microwave and terahertz components. Traditionally, these components are made by (micro-)machining. However, recent advances in rapid prototyping technology have led to its use in creating high performance and low weight RF components. In this review paper ten state-of-the-art exemplars are described, covering a wide variety of applications (absorbers, waveguides, antennas and lenses) operating over a broad range of frequencies, from 8 to 330 GHz.

“…A DDITIVE manufacturing has recently been introduced as a viable alternative to conventional manufacturing techniques for passive microwave (MW) and millimeter-wave (MMW) components, offering short lead times, drastically reduced weight and enhanced design flexibility [1]. In particular methods that are based on stereolithography (SLA) are considered a strong contender as these currently provide among the highest resolution and the best surface properties of suitable additive manufacturing techniques.…”

Abstract-A stereolithography-based manufacturing process for monolithic high aspect ratio components for mm-wave and sub-mm-wave applications is demonstrated. A 25 mm long straight waveguide and a diagonal horn antenna, both for the WR-3.4 band (220-330 GHz), are manufactured and characterized. The waveguide is found to exhibit transmission losses close to the theoretical minimum for Cu, and the performance of the diagonal antenna in terms of cross-polarization and directivity matches closely a metallic split-block reference antenna. These results confirm the high surface quality and mechanical accuracy of the employed 3D printing and plating techniques and thus validate the process for rapid manufacturing of monolithic components up to 330 GHz.

This article describes a fourth‐order 3‐D printed combline filter with a Chebyshev response, operating at central frequency 3 GHz and having a 3% fractional bandwidth. The filter is designed using the coupling matrix theory, fabricated, and experimental results are presented. Comparison between simulations and measurements shows good agreement. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 59:1388–1390, 2017
