Savonia University of Applied Sciences (UAS) has improved their large-scale 3D printing by integrating RoboDK software into their processes. This integration enables more precise and efficient control over their large-scale 3D printing projects. The university’s focus has been on overcoming the unique challenges presented by large-scale 3D printing. Unlike small-scale printing, large-scale projects require careful consideration of print time, material deposition rates, and layer height.

Advancement in Soft Robotics: 3D Printed Robots with Bones, Ligaments, and Tendons
Researchers from ETH Zurich have created a 3D printed robotic hand that includes bones, ligaments, and tendons. The project focuses on a new 3D printing technology that utilizes slow-curing polymers. This approach overcomes the constraints of traditional fast-curing plastics, enabling the production of more resilient and flexible robotic components.

ABB Robotics showcases 3D printing with recovered marine plastic at London’s Selfridges
London department store Selfridges showcases the future role of robotics in retail. An ABB robot demonstrates 3D printing using upcycled Parley Ocean Plastic to create a range of designer items. Personalized items can be ordered on site by customers and produced in-situ by the robot, ready for purchase.
