SECTOR CAPABILITIES
TAILORED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Modern robotics requires minimizing moving mass while maintaining rigid structural integrity. Using optimized geometries and engineering polymers like ABS and PETG, engineering teams can reduce actuator payload inertia, integrate internal cable channels, and iterate end-effector tooling quickly.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
TYPICAL PARTS & ENGINEERING CHALLENGES
Lightweight custom end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) and gripper fingers
Articulated arm structural links optimized for high stiffness-to-weight ratio
Protective housings for LiDAR sensors, depth cameras, and IMUs
Protective bumper guards and mechanical dampers
Integrated cable-guide tracks and pneumatic hose retention brackets
DESIGN CRITERIA
CRITICAL SECTOR REQUIREMENTS
High Stiffness-to-Mass Ratio
Consolidated, hollow, or cellular infill designs lower motor torque requirements and increase payload capacity.
Precision Bearing & Motor Interfaces
Close-tolerance press-fit bearing pockets, dowel pin locators, and servomotor mounting interfaces.
Impact & Shock Absorption
Durable engineering thermoplastics protect critical navigation sensors from collision shocks.
