A state-of-the-art 3D printing robot demonstration centre will be officially unveiled this month by Rapid Fusion as it aims to build on a 25% increase in revenues.
The technology specialist has completed a £750,000 investment drive that has seen it develop two new additive manufacturing platforms and importantly build a dedicated facility in Exeter to showcase its solutions.
The 5,000 sq ft unit on Skypark will house the firm’s Apollo cell and its latest ZEUS creation, which combines a 3D printing robot with a unique CNC milling capability – providing customers with a turnkey solution for larger moulds.
Investment is also flowing into new people, with a LFAM robotic print engineer employed before Christmas and they will soon be followed by the recruitment of Engineering and Deployment and Software leads.
Rapid Fusion is fast becoming a major player in global additive manufacturing platforms – all designed, built and assembled in the UK with the recent bonus of ‘Made in Britain’ certification.
It launched its first bespoke cell, Apollo, last year and this has already received significant interest for its ability to offer faster speeds than existing FDM printers (nearly 200 times quicker).
The company will shortly be officially releasing ZEUS, which will include a CNC milling tool that provides a hybrid solution for customers looking at printing and milling in one turnkey solution.
Rapid Fusion, which will be attending IDEX in Abu Dhabi in February and JEC in Paris, has recently signed several new reseller agreements in a bid to increase its domestic and global sales.
These have included Hyperion in Australia, Accufacture in the US, MAPTEC in Dubai and CNC World in the UK.
