SECTOR CAPABILITIES
TAILORED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Modern robotics requires minimizing moving mass while maintaining rigid structural integrity. Using topology optimization and high-performance polymers like Nylon PA12 and Tough Resin, 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 pneumatic gripper fingers
Articulated arm structural links optimized for high stiffness-to-weight ratio
Protective housings for LiDAR sensors, depth cameras, and IMUs
Compliant bumper guards and elastomeric impact dampers
Integrated cable-guide tracks and pneumatic hose retention brackets
DESIGN CRITERIA
CRITICAL SECTOR REQUIREMENTS
High Stiffness-to-Mass Ratio
Consolidated, hollow, or lattice-cored 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 elastomers (TPU 95A) protect critical navigation sensors from collision shocks.
