LFAM, or large-scale 3D printing, is gaining traction across industries for its ability to produce complex, high-performance parts with reduced lead times and material waste. Common applications include aerospace and automotive tooling, concrete molds, and architectural components.

Industry analysts project the market will grow from $117.7 million to $619.3 million globally by 2030. Pellet-based extrusion is emerging as a cost-effective alternative to filament printing, and leading providers are integrating AI-driven design, real-time quality control, and robotic automation for scalable, consistent production in smart factories.

"When we met PADT's leadership, we were impressed by their legacy and deep understanding of manufacturing," said Jake Hand, Managing Director of Rapid Fusion. "Together, we'll deliver modular 3D platforms, AM modules, and robotic AM cells that empower manufacturers to produce large, cost-effective components with high output and sustainability."
