Typical workflow
Build near-net geometry, remove supports, then mill the antenna interface and hole pattern.

Metal AM antenna mounting bracket
Antenna or sensor mount example with thin ribs and a central interface boss, illustrating how metal AM can consolidate a multi-piece bracket.
Typical specification
| Item | Typical value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Process | Metal additive + optional CNC datums | Example · to be confirmed |
| Material | Ti alloy or Al alloy | Example · to be confirmed |
| Structure | Ribbed arms into a hub | Example · to be confirmed |
| Tolerance focus | Interface plane and hole positions | Example · to be confirmed |
| Finish | Machine critical faces after build | Example · to be confirmed |
Why consolidate the mount
An antenna bracket often starts as several machined pieces. A single metal AM body can carry ribs and a hub in one piece, then CNC only the mating face.
Drawing tips
- Define the antenna plane as a primary datum
- Separate cosmetic surfaces from sealed or bonded faces
- Note any RF keep-out if coatings are restricted
Example part only — confirm alloy and RF constraints on your RFQ.
