Horizon Microtechnologies, a micro 3D printing company, has secured funding from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) SPARK program administered by the Center for Satellite Navigation Hesse GmbH, CESAH – fuelling the development of its advanced 3D printing and metallization technology to meet the rigorous demands of space applications. By developing components that can withstand the harsh, unserviceable conditions of space, Horizon is proving that its technology is mature enough to address these engineering challenges.
“Receiving ESA Spark funding is a powerful step forward for Horizon,” said Andreas Frölich, CEO of Horizon Microtechnologies. “Space applications demand the highest standards of performance, longevity, and reliability, and this support from ESA through CESAH is a testament to the potential we have to drive innovation in space technology.”
Horizon’s unique approach integrates the precision and design flexibility of 3D printing with advanced metallization processes. For space applications, this means lighter, more compact components that maintain structural integrity and functionality, even in extreme conditions. Weight reduction, or SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power), is a crucial factor in space missions, as every gram counts toward efficiency. With Horizon’s technology, components can be made lighter without sacrificing durability.
Additionally, Horizon’s technology supports the creation of monolithic components with complex geometries that would be difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques.
“This project does more than just position Horizon’s technology within the space sector, it also paves the way for broader industry adoption. Success in space – the most demanding of environments – provides a compelling proof-of-concept for sectors such as telecommunications, aerospace, and defense, where reliability and endurance are paramount. If Horizon’s components can thrive in space, they can certainly meet the high standards of terrestrial applications,” said Frölich. “Horizon Microtechnologies is thrilled to embark on this next phase of growth, backed by ESA Spark funding and inspired by the possibilities of space innovation. As the company continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with 3D printed, metalized components, we invite our partners, customers, and the wider technology community to join us on this exciting journey.”
