WHY CEAD?
CEAD is a global leader in large-scale composite 3D printing solutions, delivering powerful technology for manufacturing strong, lightweight, and customized parts at industrial scale. Their innovative systems combine pellet-based extrusion with continuous fiber reinforcement, giving manufacturers the freedom to build large structures with structural integrity and speed — all with sustainable, high-performance thermoplastics.
Whether you need tooling, prototypes, functional parts, or full-scale production, CEAD offers flexible, modular, and robot-integrated systems to suit your needs.
The Flexbot is a versatile robotic solution designed for large-scale additive manufacturing. It offers both standard and custom configurations — from 3D printing entire boat hulls to seamlessly integrating subtractive manufacturing techniques.
Designed for both high performance and ease of use, the Flexcube delivers powerful capabilities within a compact footprint. Integrated milling and finishing options enable seamless part completion without the need for removal from the machine.
Pellet extruders are stand alone build for integrators and companies alike. CEAD offers its robot pellet extruders as separate technology components that can be used to build modular large scale 3D printers.
