3D Printing in Robotics Technology
- Rapid Prototyping 3D printing enables the creation of customized parts and prototypes for robotic systems quickly and cost-effectively.
- Lightweight and Complex Designs Engineers can create lightweight, intricate structures that improve robotic efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
3D printing’s Robotic connection
3D printing, one of the Robotics applications, automates the most tedious and repetitive tasks by cutting costs and improving turnaround time. At the same time, 3D printing enables the agile manufacturing of various types of robots and their components as well. We can say 3D printing is today both done ‘for’ and ‘by’ Robotics.
Types and Applications of Robots
Let’s go through some types of robots (in no particular order) and see how 3D printing and additive manufacturing has been pivotal in their development.
- A robotic arm can be made out of 3D printers as well as used to perform 3D printing.
- It is now possible to use a robotic arm to print from different angles and objects with complex geometries.
- 3D printing has, of course, enabled quick prototyping and iterative design in such robotic hands’ development.
- 3D printing is especially useful when complex joints are incorporated in such robotic hands, both in the development and production stages.
They are programmed with virtually every possible situation they could encounter on its course. They are often deployed in situations that ideally would not require human intervention.
