Robotic Additive Manufacturing with Rapid Fusion

Rapid Fusion delivers advanced robotic additive manufacturing solutions built for industry. Their Apollo and Zeus platforms combine high-speed pellet extrusion with precision robotics, and in the case of Zeus, integrated CNC milling, to help manufacturers produce large, complex parts faster and in-house.

Applications

Apollo is suited to industries such as marine, aerospace and defence, automotive, construction, energy and art and design. Its large-format printing capabilities support rapid prototyping, tooling and production of functional parts, reducing reliance on outsourcing and long supplier lead times.

What’s in the Apollo System?

At the core of Apollo is the Rapid Fusion PE320 Pellet Extruder, designed for consistent high performance. It’s paired with our Epicurus Controller Pro, an open-source, customisable control system, alongside a KUKA robotic arm, Modular Heated Bed, Air Plus Kit, Smart Loom Pro, and pellet drying unit. Together, these components deliver seamless high-volume printing using raw thermoplastics. Whether integrated into a full production line or used independently, Apollo is your gateway to faster, cleaner, and smarter additive manufacturing.

Applications

Zeus is designed for industries including aerospace and defence, automotive, construction, energy, marine and art and design. From complex moulds to finished parts, Zeus provides manufacturers with a flexible and efficient in-house solution for hybrid production.

What’s in the Zeus System?

Powered by the PE320 Pellet Extruder and Epicurus Controller Pro, Zeus features the same modular architecture as Apollo but adds a high-performance CNC milling tool and manual tool changer. This enables teams to switch between printing and milling in one setup, eliminating the need for separate systems or external suppliers.

Zeus is compatible with Aibuild and Adaxis software, delivering intelligent toolpath planning, AI-driven slicing, and full control over hybrid workflows. This combination makes it ideal for producing accurate parts, tooling and moulds with tight tolerances.
