Optical Components & Materials Optical Design & Assembly Complex Optical Challenges Require Precision Optics Solutions Proto Labs, Inc., through its Firstcut and Protomold services, utilizes proprietary computing technologies and automated manufacturing systems to provide prototype parts and short- run production services. All parts are made by standard production methods, delivered at affordable prices, and can be delivered in as fast as one day. Proto Labs rapid injection molding service, Protomold®, is the world's fastest source for custom rapid injection molded parts. The material properties of Protomold's real molded parts surpass those of parts produced by additive prototyping processes. At the same time, delivery is faster and costs are lower than those associated with traditional injection molding. Proto Labs CNC machining service, Firstcut®, is the world's fastest source for custom CNC machined parts filling a unique niche in the manufacturing of plastic and metal prototype parts with real materials, incredible convenience, and great value.

All of these products cover the 30-512 MHz band and have RF outputs of 20W, 35W, 50W, 75W, 100W, and 125W; additionally, we have a dedicated SATCOM unit that produces an RF output of 200W. All of the units are self-tuning and require typically an input of only a few watts to drive them to full output. Many models have JITC certification for the Raytheon PSC5-D, Harris PRC-117F and 117G transceivers, and carry legacy and modern networking modulations, like IW and ANW 2. The units offer frequency-hopping modes utilizing super-fast electronic switching of harmonic filters to prevent "friendly interference." These units are in service around the world in ground vehicles, ships and SOF boats, helicopters, UAVs, and conventional aircraft. In addition to our standard models, AR Modular RF builds custom configurations to meet our customers' needs.
