The following foreword is authored by esteemed German AM consultant, Mr. Johannes Lutz, from the 3D Industrie consulting.
Anyone who was already using 3D printing around the turn of the millennium, back when it was still called "rapid prototyping," belonged to a very small group of companies that had access to this technology. How quickly and easily prototypes could be created back then was often kept a closely guarded secret.
This was the case around 2009, when SLA and SLS components were still traded like gold. If a similarly large component costs 300 to 400 euros today, the price back then was about 5,000 euros. There was little competition, and it was lucky to know someone who mastered the technology.

In the years that followed, especially in 2013, the hype around 3D printing ignited the right zeitgeist. Manufacturers like EOS, Concept Laser, and SLM Solutions shaped innovations in metal 3D printing, while companies like GermanRepRap and BigRep helped bring FDM printers into development and design departments across Germany.
As new manufacturers emerged in other countries, the 3D printing service market continued to grow, and the benefits for industrial companies expanded. However, after 2022, the peak seemed to have passed. Many companies already owned 3D printers, and the economic situation in Germany changed.

The country, once one of the largest consumers of 3D printing, fell behind. The next step in development was hindered by a lack of investment and, in some cases, poor experiences with the technology.
Today, many companies use 3D printing successfully, while others still ignore the technology. The "German technology fear" remains an obstacle that has not yet been overcome.

Activity: World
Overview:
Horizon Microtechnologies offers product development and contract manufacturing services for hightech customers across various industries. Its in-house process technologies leverage photopolymer-based additive manufacturing with 10 µm precision and post-build coating processes which, together, allow to create precision-engineered and miniaturized products with a high degree of functional integration.
On one hand, the print material selection is suited to address applications requiring high precision, high-temperature resistance, low thermal expansion and biocompatibility. On the other hand, the coating processes allow the homogeneous deposition of metals such as copper and silver, resistive layers as well as metal-oxide based protective coatings to insulate the part from the environment or vice verse.
Together, the printing and processing technologies are a "best of both worlds" approach, combining the precision, design freedom and repeatability of photopolymer based 3D printing and the beyond-polymer functionalities contributed by the coatings.
Applications and customers served are in electronics, test&measurement, aerospace and medicine.
Legacy:
Founded in late 2021, Horizon Microtechnologies has pioneered a suite of coating processes explicitely designed for usage with 3D printed parts and the complex geometries and material science aspects these typically feature. Since its inception, it has systematically driven this technology into micro- and mm-wave applications.
Here, the design freedom and lightweight characteristics of 3D printed polymer parts together with highly conductive coatings directly translate into size- and weightsaving components that often even have superior functionality than metallic counterparts, which especially benefits on-the-move and space applications.
Recently, the manufacturing processes have become sufficiently mature and standardized to offer certain components such as horn antennas as off-the-shelf digital models that are produced on demand with very short lead times and near to no extra efforts for small customizations.
