Ultima Forma’s flexible electroformed waveguides solve this problem at the source — by combining rigid and flexible segments in a single, seamless structure.

Using a proprietary multilayer electroforming process, we tailor the mechanical properties along the length of the waveguide:

• Rigid end sections for mounting and precise alignment
• Flexible midsection for controlled bending and system integration

This eliminates the need for multiple connectors or welded segments, reduces system complexity, and increases mechanical tolerance during satellite assembly.

The result is a lightweight, high-frequency waveguide that bends where you need it — and holds form where you don’t.

• Mechanical flexibility without sacrificing precision
• Fewer parts and joints — less assembly risk, fewer failure points
• Faster integration — install waveguides that fit the system, not the other way around
• Lighter, more efficient RF paths with reduced signal loss
• Flight-ready manufacturing — currently undergoing in-flight testing with active partners
