Seamlessly transition between tools:
Medusa is a fully enclosed hybrid system that combines pellet and filament 3D printing with CNC milling in one automated unit.
The Competitive Edge
Siemens Industrial Core
Not adapted desktop technology. Pure industrial control systems from day one. The same PLCs and drives running automotive production lines now orchestrate hybrid manufacturing.
True Print-to-Mill Integration
Zivid scanning technology automatically registers printed surfaces for perfect CNC finishing. No manual measurement. No guesswork. Perfect alignment every time.
Robot-Ready Architecture
Designed for Industry 4.0 from the ground up. Kuka robot integration isn't an afterthought—it's fundamental to continuous, lights-out operation.
Proven Reliability
Every component selected for 24/7 industrial duty. From Siemens drives to HSD spindles, from IMI ball screws to Hiwin linear guides—no compromises on quality.
What Makes Medusa Different?
What’s in the Medusa System?
Medusa brings printing, scanning and CNC machining together in one fully enclosed hybrid manufacturing system. Each component is integrated to create a connected workflow, taking parts from raw material through to finished component within a single platform.
Hybrid Manufacturing Tooling
High-flow pellet extrusion delivering up to 17 kg/hour for fast production using engineering polymers and reinforced composites.
Precision filament extrusion up to 500°C for detailed features, advanced polymers and composite materials.
Integrated high-speed CNC machining for in-situ finishing without removing the part from the system.
Switch seamlessly between additive and subtractive processes as part of one connected workflow.
Integrated Scanning & Process Monitoring
Precision surface scanning captures the real printed geometry and supports accurate print-to-mill registration.
Live thermal imaging tracks interpass temperatures and helps identify potential defects during production.
Integrated cameras and sensors monitor the manufacturing process, material conditions and system performance in real time.
Material Handling & Build Platform
Conditions and automatically supplies pellet material for consistent large-format production.
Keeps multiple filament reels dry, conditioned and ready for use.
A self-levelling build platform provides hands-off calibration before manufacturing begins.
The removable bed architecture can integrate with KUKA KMP 600P autonomous mobile robots for automated bed exchange and continuous production.
Control, Safety & Automation
A dedicated interface provides digital twin visibility, live print monitoring and access to Rapid Fusion's AI assistant, BOB.
Siemens PLC, drive and servo technology provides the industrial control architecture behind the system.
Industrial failsafe controls and automated safety functions help protect operators throughout the manufacturing process.
