3D printing technologies are increasingly used to support and enhance robotics automation, including collaborative robots. In this session, attendees will learn how 3DP can be used to enable collaborative robotics systems, providing cost-effective, efficient, and often technically superior alternatives to traditional approaches. Topics include the use of 3DP to generate prototypes quickly and inexpensively, along with the production of custom jigs, molds and fixtures necessary to position or hold objects while cobots operate on them. The use of 3D printing to create parts for cobots will also be covered, as well as the manufacture of end-of-arm tools (EOAT) for collaborative robots.
