Burloak Technologies and MDA Partner for Additive Manufacturing for Satellite Applications


OAKVILLE, ON, June 25, 2020 /CNW/ - Burloak Technologies, a division of Samuel, Son & Co., Limited, and MDA today announced a five-year agreement to partner for additively manufactured parts and components for space-bound satellite antenna applications.

Under the terms of this agreement, Burloak and MDA will collaborate to optimize the design and manufacturability of a range of antenna technologies. The joint efforts accomplished to date by MDA and Burloak have led to an increased acceptance of additively manufactured parts for the harsh space environment, an outcome that is expected to yield significant benefits to both partners.  

"With challenging technological needs, it's important that we find the right partner to help us fully leverage the potential of additive manufacturing for space applications. We're confident Burloak Technologies is the ideal supplier to continue supporting our efforts," said Mike Greenley, Chief Executive Officer of MDA. "This collaboration is a perfect example of partnerships that MDA develops under its LaunchPad program."

"Over the last two years we have worked closely with MDA's Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue business to apply and evolve additive manufacturing to their product offerings," stated Colin Osborne, Samuel's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This collaboration has allowed us to optimize antenna designs in terms of size, mass and performance to create a new set of possibilities for the industry."

MDA is an internationally recognized leader in space robotics, space sensors, satellite payloads, antennas and subsystems, surveillance and intelligence systems, defence and maritime systems, and geospatial radar imagery.
