The portfolio includes patents and enabling technologies originally developed by Fortify, a venture-backed materials company focused on high-performance composite and dielectric materials. Tethon and Fortify previously collaborated as industry partners exploring advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing technologies.
The acquired technologies include innovations in anisotropic composite structures and advanced material processing methods that enable high-performance RF, microwave, and mmWave components. These materials support the precision fabrication of dielectric structures used in demanding applications, including radar systems, satellite communications, advanced electronics, and next-generation wireless infrastructure.
“This acquisition is part of a broader strategy to build the leading advanced materials platform in our industry,” said Trent Allen, CEO of Tethon 3D. “We are focused on identifying and integrating technologies that enhance our ability to develop and scale high-performance ceramic materials for real production environments.”
“Fortify developed compelling technologies around high-performance composite materials,” Allen added. “Having collaborated with their team previously, we see significant opportunity to build on this work and integrate these innovations into Tethon’s advanced technical ceramics capabilities.”
Tethon states that it will continue to invest in proprietary materials, process development, and manufacturing capability with a focus on applications where technical performance and reliability matter most. By adding these technologies, the company is further expanding its technical foundation in high-performance ceramics and advanced materials systems.
Tethon 3D will be exhibiting at ceramitec (Booth A6.232), which runs from March 24 to 26, 2026, in Munich, Germany, and at the AeroDef Showcase at RAPID + TCT (Booth 2311) scheduled to take place April 13th-16th, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts.
