Rethinking Robotic Gearboxes in the Age of Additive Manufacturing

For decades, gearbox manufacturing has relied on precision machining and multi-stage assembly. The process is proven, but it comes with familiar trade-offs: long lead times, design constraints, and limited flexibility during early-stage development

What are the motion control requirements for additive manufacturing machines?

3D printed objects can include intricate machine components, through to edible items, and as a result, the additive material could range from powdered metals to chocolate. Whatever the material and shape required, functionally, the 3D printing technique is the same.

FORD NOW OPERATES 3D PRINTERS AUTONOMOUSLY, INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND REDUCING COST

Autonomous process enables 3D printer to run continuously with no human interaction needed, increasing throughput and reducing cost of custom-printed products

Self-healing materials for robotics made from 'jelly' and salt

Researchers have developed self-healing, biodegradable, 3D-printed materials that could be used in the development of realistic artificial hands and other soft robotics applications.

Purdue researchers test 3D concrete printing system as part of NSF-funded project

Transitioning to clean wind energy could become more cost-efficient as Purdue University researchers test a new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore wind turbines.

HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing Technology for End of Arm Tooling

When HP set out to develop this technology, the aim was to push beyond prototyping and enable repeatable, higher volume additive manufacturing. We can do this by combining a powder bed fusion approach with HP's Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology.

Metal 3DPrinting over CNC for custom EOAT

This small component was stopping them from realizing the full potential of their manufacturing process as they could only run the system when there was someone there to restart the system if a stoppage occurred due to slippage.

Gantry Systems for High Performance 3D Printing Applications

3D Printing motion systems are built from standard 3D Print optimized gantry platforms and pre-configured for use with Nordson Ultimus V (or customized to extruder). The direct hardware integration has been considered.

Ridgeback Takes 3D Printing to the Next Level

How can you print something larger than the printer itself? That's the problem researchers Xu Zhang, Mingyang Li, Quang-Cuong Pham, and others set out to solve at the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing...
