From Lab to Fab: QTREX's AME Tech Hits a Major Production Milestone

NES ZIONA, ISRAEL – June 15, 2026 – In a move that signals a significant shift for advanced electronics, QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX) today confirmed its groundbreaking Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) system has been moved from a development lab onto the full-scale production floor of one of the largest U.S.-based interconnect manufacturers. The transition follows an exhaustive validation program where the technology achieved an impressive 97% production yield, a figure that turns heads in any manufacturing discipline.

This isn't just a successful test run; it's a commercial and technological coming-of-age for a manufacturing paradigm poised to solve some of the most complex challenges in electronics. The AME process, which essentially 3D prints fully functional, high-density electronic circuits, has long been a promising but largely developmental technology. This milestone provides tangible proof of its readiness for the rigors of industrial production.

“Moving from validation to the production floor at one of the largest U.S.-based interconnect manufacturers is a major commercial and technological milestone for QTREX,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of QTREX. “Achieving 97% yield after hundreds of evaluations demonstrates that our AME system is ready for demanding production environments.”

A New Blueprint for Electronics

For decades, the electronics industry has largely relied on subtractive manufacturing to create printed circuit boards (PCBs)—a process that involves etching away copper from a laminate sheet to create conductive pathways. While highly refined, this method is hitting fundamental limits as devices demand ever-greater density, tighter integration, and more complex three-dimensional shapes. QTREX’s AME technology flips the script.

Instead of removing material, it adds it, precisely depositing conductive and dielectric (insulating) materials layer by layer to build a complete, monolithic electronic component. This allows for the creation of intricate 3D structures that integrate circuitry directly into the component's body, a feat impossible with conventional methods. The validation program that preceded the production deployment was extensive, covering hundreds of evaluations for reliability, mechanical vibration, environmental exposure, and humidity, proving the robustness of this novel approach.

This capability directly addresses the industry's most pressing needs: higher-density interconnects, improved thermal management, and demanding signal-integrity requirements. “You can’t just keep shrinking lines and vias with traditional PCB methods and expect to meet the performance needs of next-generation systems,” an industry analyst noted. “At a certain point, you need to build in three dimensions. What we’re seeing here is the industrialization of that concept.”

Unlocking the Quantum Future

The most immediate and profound impact of this validation may be felt in the burgeoning field of quantum computing. As companies race to build quantum processors with thousands, and eventually millions, of qubits, they face a colossal challenge known as the “wiring bottleneck.” Superconducting quantum systems operate in dilution cryostats at temperatures near absolute zero, and connecting control and readout signals to the quantum chip requires a dense, thermally efficient, and incredibly reliable network of interconnects.

Traditional hand-wiring is a major source of system failure and simply cannot scale. QTREX’s technology is engineered to solve this. Its AME systems are “cryogenic-native,” designed from the ground up to perform in extreme cold. By printing high-density, low-loss RF signal paths directly into 3D structures, the technology can replace cumbersome, unreliable wiring harnesses with a single, repeatable, and highly integrated component.

Ben-Noon himself has emphasized this point, previously stating that “Superconducting quantum computers cannot scale on conventional wiring architecture.” The company’s strategic focus is clear, reinforced by a recent $1 million grant from the Israel Innovation Authority to develop a purpose-built dielectric material specifically for scalable quantum systems. This milestone with the U.S. manufacturer validates that its solution for this critical bottleneck is not just theoretically sound, but production-ready.

Beyond Quantum: A Strategic Play for Critical Industries

While quantum computing provides a powerful beachhead market, the applications for robust, additively manufactured electronics extend far beyond it. The press release highlights a focus on defense, aerospace, missile, and space systems—environments where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

In these mission-critical sectors, the ability to produce highly integrated, lightweight, and geometrically complex electronic components is transformative. AME can enable the creation of conformal antennas that fit perfectly onto a drone's wing, compact sensor packages for satellites, or thermally optimized control units for missile guidance systems. The monolithic nature of the printed components, which integrates the circuitry into the structure, inherently increases durability and resistance to shock and vibration—critical attributes for military and aerospace hardware.

By proving its AME platform can meet the stringent quality and yield demands of a major commercial manufacturer, QTREX is effectively demonstrating its value proposition to these high-stakes industries. The company, which recently changed its name from Inspira Technologies to reflect its new focus, is positioning itself as a key enabler for next-generation hardware across the board.

The Commercial Inflection Point

This move from the lab to the factory floor represents what the company calls a “commercialization inflection point.” It’s one thing to have a great technology; it’s another to prove it can be manufactured reliably and at scale. The 97% yield figure is a powerful validator that is already translating into commercial momentum.

The company recently secured a $596,000 AME system order and is reportedly in advanced discussions with one of the world's top five quantum computing companies. This progress is reflected in investor sentiment; with a market capitalization of around $61 million, QTEX's high price-to-sales ratio suggests the market is pricing in significant future growth, betting on the disruptive potential of its technology. The broader market context supports this optimism, with the Additive Manufacturing in Electronics market projected to grow from around $1 billion in 2024 to over $4 billion by 2034.

However, the path to widespread adoption is not without hurdles. AME must still contend with the challenge of achieving cost parity with conventional manufacturing for very high-volume applications. Furthermore, industry inertia and the significant capital investment required to retool production lines can slow the adoption of any disruptive technology. QTREX’s strategy appears to be to focus on high-value, complex applications where the performance benefits of AME far outweigh the costs, creating a strong foothold from which to expand. This successful production deployment is the most significant step yet on that journey.
