AFP-XS
The compact, modular AFP-XS upgrades any pre-existing robot into an advanced Automated Fiber Placement system — the workhorse spanning prototype, R&D and industrial scale-up, in Core, Lite and Laser configurations.

THE RETROFIT
Your robot, a new trade
AFP-XS mounts on a supported industrial arm already on your floor or arrives inside a configured AddCell. AddPath keeps programming, simulation and execution in one workflow.
- KUKA — supported industrial platform
- ABB — supported industrial platform
- FANUC — supported industrial platform
- Kawasaki — supported industrial platform
- Yaskawa — supported industrial platform
THE SOFTWARE
Planned and simulated before it's laid
Every course AFP-XS lays exists first as a verified AddPath toolpath — collision-checked against your cell, simulated against your part geometry, and exported straight to the controller.
THREE CONFIGURATIONS
Start accessible, scale without changing platforms
Core, Lite and Laser configurations cover education, research, pilot production and industrial scale-up. Material handling, heating and sensing are selected around the part rather than forcing one fixed machine onto every process.
