About SATELLIS
SATELLIS is a manufacturing service provider based in Switzerland specializing in high-precision CNC machining. The company produces flight-ready components for CubeSats and microsatellites – including structures, brackets, injector plates and optical mounts – as well as precision components for aerospace, drones, photonics, medical technology, robotics and scientific instruments. The machine fleet includes a fully automated 5-axis machining center with simultaneous milling and turning up to 200 × 200 × 200 mm, a bar-fed 5-axis automatic lathe for bar stock up to 40 mm diameter, and an ultra-precision machining center with an 80,000-RPM spindle for micromachining. The focus is on tight tolerances, finest surfaces, rapid prototype development and fast delivery even for complex geometries.
