View source- About
- XJet develops NanoParticle Jetting (NPJ) additive manufacturing systems producing production-grade ceramics (Alumina, Zirconia) and metals (SS 316L, SS 17-4PH) in a single multi-material platform. The technology delivers fine internal features (~200 µm) with soluble support, enabling conformal cooling channels for directed-energy weapons, RF-transparent radome sandwich structures surviving >1,500°C for hypersonic applications, antenna substrates and MCMs operating to 850°C, and gram-optimized structural brackets for UAV and loitering munition platforms. NPJ is the only AM process combining ceramic and metal, internal channel capability, and sub-micron resolution in one workflow — with no equivalent from PBF, binder jet, or LCM competitors. XJet is already embedded in the Israeli defense supply chain via Kanfit (an XJet customer and Rafael-owned manufacturer), providing direct access to Rafael's missile and Iron Beam directed-energy weapon programs. Production-qualified materials are fielded COTS; Si₃N₄, SiC, Copper, and ATZ/ZTA are roadmap materials pending customer pull.
