Hyperion Systems
Overview
Hyperion Systems is an Australian advanced manufacturing company established to strengthen sovereign industrial capability through deployable, robotic manufacturing technologies. Since its inception, the company has focused on developing large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM), wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), advanced recycled engineering materials and containerised production systems capable of manufacturing critical components closer to the point of need.
Hyperion has progressively expanded its defence engagement through the development of autonomous surface vessel (USV) platforms, deployable manufacturing systems and advanced manufacturing solutions for maritime, aerospace and land applications. The company works with Defence primes, SMEs, research organisations and government to accelerate the adoption of digital manufacturing technologies that improve resilience, reduce logistics burdens and enable rapid sustainment of critical assets.
Operating from the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, Western Australia, Hyperion collaborates with industry and research partners including universities, the Advanced Manufacturing CRC and technology providers to develop qualified manufacturing processes and materials. The company has also established international partnerships to support allied capability development while maintaining a strong focus on Australian sovereign manufacturing.
Today, Hyperion provides contract manufacturing, robotic manufacturing systems, materials development and engineering services, with a roadmap centred on distributed manufacturing networks that enable defence forces to manufacture parts, tooling and mission-critical infrastructure wherever it is required.
Capabilities
Hyperion provides sovereign advanced manufacturing capabilities that improve the speed, resilience and flexibility of defence supply chains. Our core capabilities include large-format polymer additive manufacturing (LFAM), wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), deployable containerised manufacturing systems, advanced materials development, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM), rapid prototyping and low-rate production.
These capabilities enable Defence and industry to manufacture large, complex parts, tooling and infrastructure closer to the point of need, reducing lead times, logistics requirements and reliance on overseas supply chains.
Recent defence-related examples include:
• Development of the ASTRA 460 autonomous surface vessel (USV), demonstrating rapid manufacture of large maritime platforms using robotic additive manufacturing.
• Development of the TitanCell, a containerised robotic manufacturing system designed to provide deployable manufacturing capability for remote locations, shipyards and defence facilities.
• Ongoing development of WAAM capability for rapid manufacture and repair of large metal components, supporting sovereign sustainment and industrial resilience.
• Participation in major defence events, including the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition, showcasing deployable manufacturing technologies and autonomous maritime platforms to Defence, primes and allied partners.
• Collaboration with Defence SMEs, primes, universities and research organisations to develop advanced manufacturing solutions for maritime, autonomous systems, critical infrastructure, tooling and sustainment applications.
Operating from the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, Western Australia, Hyperion combines robotics, digital manufacturing, advanced materials and engineering expertise to deliver scalable manufacturing solutions that strengthen Australia’s sovereign industrial capability and support the future needs of the defence sector.
