Abstract
Product-to-product variation, routing conflicts and undocumented product design changes in commercial off-the-shelf components are accommodated using additive manufacturing to modify interfaces for such components on a pre-fabricated component connection and interface structure. Radio frequency waveguides, printed circuit structures and additive twisted pair technology allow adaptive re-routing or shielding of signal lines on the design of the interface structure. Connectors and signal routing for power, radio frequency signals, and data signals may be adapted to enable interoperability of the off-the-shelf components.
