Abstract
A method of forming a feed cone for a microwave antenna includes the steps of: providing a digitized design for a feed cone, the feed cone comprising a plurality of geometric features that vary in area along an axial dimension of the feed cone; subdividing the digitized design into a plurality of thin strata stacked in the thickness dimension; forming a thin layer of material corresponding to one of the thin strata; fixing the thin layer of material; and repeating steps (c) and (d) to form a feed cone.
