Deployable reflector antenna includes a fabrication hub (106) in which at least one additive fabrication unit disposed. The additive fabrication unit is configured to form at least one rigid structural element (102) of a reflector antenna system (100). In a stowed condition, an RF reflector material comprised of a flexible webbing (104) is disposed in a stowed configuration proximate to the fabrication hub. A fabrication control system controls the additive fabrication unit so as to form the at least one rigid structural element. The RF reflector material is arranged to transition during the additive fabrication process from the stowed configuration (see Figure 1A) in which the flexible webbing material is furled compactly at the fabrication hub, to a deployed configuration (see Figure 1B) in which the flexible webbing material is unfurled.
