Our Microwave Antenna Radome Services

From custom thermoforming to precision CNC trimming, we deliver complete radome manufacturing solutions for telecom and OEM applications.

Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

We produce custom radome enclosures using eight thermoforming machines, forming ABS, HDPE, UV-resistant ASA/ABS, and other RF-transparent materials to exact dimensional specifications for microwave antenna applications.

CNC Trimming & Cutting

Our two 5'x10' CNC trimming centers finish radome parts to precise drawing tolerances, delivering clean edges, accurate contours, and assembly-ready components for telecom OEM integration.

Mold Making & Tooling

We design and fabricate low-cost wood and polyurethane prototype tooling and production-grade aluminum molds, enabling rapid radome prototyping and scalable high-volume manufacturing.

Plastic Fabrication

Our fabrication team handles precision drilling, heat bending, bonding, fastener installation, and edge finishing to produce fully assembled, specification-compliant radome components ready for deployment.

Prototyping

Using low-cost wood master patterns CNC-milled to print specifications, we rapidly produce radome prototypes for design review and functional evaluation before committing to production tooling.

High Volume Production

Our 4'x7' rotary thermoforming machine delivers cycle times 2.5× faster than standard equipment, enabling cost-effective, quality-controlled high-volume radome production for large telecom programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the antenna radome?

An antenna radome is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a microwave or RF antenna from environmental elements—wind, rain, ice, UV exposure, and debris—while being electromagnetically transparent so it does not interfere with signal transmission or reception. Radomes maintain antenna performance in harsh outdoor deployments while reducing wind loading and mechanical stress on the antenna structure.
