Bringing together the power of additive manufacturing and CNC post-processing in one machine has helped Rapid Fusion secure a prestigious award – for the second year running. The ‘AM’ specialist beat off strong industrial competition...

As demand for large-format 3D printing grows across sectors like construction, marine, and energy, the need for consistent print quality and operational flexibility is more critical than ever. That’s where modular heated beds come in,...

When it comes to large-format 3D printing, speed is everything, especially in production environments where delays cost time, money and momentum. But achieving fast, consistent print speeds at scale isn’t just about moving quickly. It’s...

Hybrid manufacturing is no longer a concept for the future, it’s happening now. By combining the strengths of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling and large-format 3D printing into a single platform, manufacturers can produce complex...

 In recent years, global supply chains have shown just how vulnerable they can be. Delays, shortages, and soaring logistics costs have forced manufacturers to rethink how and where they produce. For businesses looking to reduce...

For years, the biggest bottleneck in manufacturing has been tooling. Whether it’s a mould for composites, a jig for assembly or a pattern for casting, traditional methods often mean waiting weeks, sometimes months, to get...

Pellet-based 3D printing has been gaining momentum across the manufacturing world, and for good reason. The biggest shift is flexibility. Unlike traditional filament printing, pellet extrusion uses raw thermoplastic pellets, often the same material used...

Large format 3D printing is starting to play a much bigger role in how things are made across the UK. As manufacturers look for quicker, more flexible ways to develop tools, parts and prototypes, the...

A breakthrough in large format hybrid 3D printing has been successfully unveiled by Rapid Fusion.   The Exeter-based company attracted more than 100 industry specialists, potential customers and funding partners for the launch and demo...
