Tethon 3D Acquires Fortify IP Portfolio to Strengthen Ceramics and RF Materials Platform

Acquisition Expands Tethon 3Ds Materials Portfolio

Omaha-based ceramic 3D printing specialist Tethon 3D has acquired a portfolio of intellectual property assets from 3DFortify, a venture-backed materials company known for its work in high-performance composite and dielectric materials. The deal brings Tethon patents centered on anisotropic composite structures and advanced material processing methods.

The acquired IP supports precision-engineered dielectric structures used in radar systems, satellite communications, advanced electronics, and next-generation wireless infrastructure. This extends Tethons technical foundation in ceramics into RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave (mmWave) component fabrication.

Building the Leading Advanced Materials Platform

This acquisition is part of a broader strategy to build the leading advanced materials platform in the industry, according to Trent Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Tethon 3D.

Fortify developed compelling technologies around high-performance composite materials, Allen said. We see significant opportunity to build on this work and integrate these innovations into Tethons advanced technical ceramics capabilities.

Tethon and Fortify had previously collaborated as industry partners exploring advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing technologies before the acquisition. The company will present at Ceramitec in Munich (Booth A6.232) next week.
