In June 2023, Oerlikon AM and Airbus signed a EUR 3.8 million (USD 4.18 million) contract for the additive manufacture of satellite antenna clusters. These components would be used in a series of communication satellites put into orbit. As part of this new contract, Oerlikon AM would 3D print aluminum antenna clusters that measure approximately 400 x 400 x 400 mm using laser powder bed fusion technology.
In February 2023, MDA secured a new contract with Argentina's National Telecommunications Company to supply Ka-band multi-beam antennas for its ARSAT-SG1 satellite which provides high-speed internet and digital video and voice services across the country and to Bolivia, Paraguay, and Chile.
