Press Release: PADT Marks U.S. First as Partnership With Rapid Fusion Brings New Additive Manufacturing Solutions to North America

Strategic Partnership Expands PADT’s Advanced Manufacturing Offering With Scalable, Robotic LFAM Solutions, While Rapid Fusion Enters North America Through a Trusted, Industry-Proven Channel Partner

PADT has been involved in additive manufacturing since our founding in 1994, and we always have our eyes and ears open for new technologies and new partners that can bring new and needed capabilities to our advanced manufacturing customers. We found just such a technology and partner with Rapid Fusion, a leading provider of Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) systems based in the United Kingdom.

Here is a video announcing the relationship:

Rapid Fusion Has the Right 3D Printing Technology at the Right Time

We are excited about this new partnership because it brings a practical and useful technology that many in the 3D Printing industry have been looking for – large format printing that combines industry-standard robotic arms with pellet polymer feeds. Over the coming months, we will be reaching out to our customers and contacts across North America to share the fantastic features of this system.
