Key benefits

  • EFFICIENCY: accelerate production times and reduce costs without sacrificing quality—thanks to automated tool swapping that eliminates manual downtime.
  • FLEXIBILITY: easily customize part geometries by switching between different extruders or integrating subtractive finishing tools.
  • ALL-IN-ONE WORKFLOW: streamline your production by combining printing and finishing in a single setup, cutting the need for multiple machines and manual steps.

3D Printing and Finishing

Hybrid Configuration

This Heron AM configuration combines large-format 3D printing and CNC milling in one automated workflow. It switches from extrusion to finishing—like trimming, smoothing, cutting, and drilling—immediately after printing, reducing manual labor and setup time while delivering precise, ready-to-use parts.

High-mix Additive Manufacturing

Dual Extruder Configuration

This configuration is perfect for high-mix production, enabling seamless switching between multiple extruders in a single print. Start with a high-throughput extruder for fast deposition, then automatically switch to a precision extruder for fine details without sacrificing speed or continuity.
