The Future of Automotive Manufacturing Is Iterative

Long tooling lead times and high non-recurring costs slow development down. We remove that bottleneck:

Prove and transition

Print

without committing to tooling first

Finish

to production standard in the same cell (Zeus)

sustain

Iterate

at the cost of a reprint, not a redesign

Iterate without tooling penalty. Finish to production standard. Move from prototype to production without changing supplier.

Fleet: Connecting the Production Network

Owning several machines only pays off if they work as one system, not three separate silos.
• Route a job to whichever machine or line is free
• Monitor output across every plant from one interface
• Scale without losing coordination as you grow
One design. Every plant. Capacity wherever it's free.

Built for the Line

PE320V3-10.jpg

Zeus

Hybrid large-format printing + CNC milling in one cell. Proven on complex tooling under tight deadlines: a four-section composite mould, designed, printed and delivered in three weeks against a hard schedule.

Apollo

Our foundational large-format platform. Print components and prototypes without the wait or cost of tooling, the starting point for most automotive development work.
Medusa_Dramatic_Lighting.png

Medusa

Fully enclosed, automated production. Combines pellet and filament printing with CNC milling for repeat runs that keep going, unattended.

Bob

AI-assisted manufacturing intelligence. Makes advanced systems easier to run, cutting the training overhead of bringing large-format AM onto the production floor.

Component & Tooling-Specific Manufacturing

From individual fixtures to full production tooling, large-format additive manufacturing removes traditional mould-making lead times, supporting rapid iteration and low-volume customisation, without stalling the line.
