3D printing stainless steel robotic arm is advancing technology development

For a tech madman, software, robotics or 3D printing companies are ideal places to work. These avant-garde companies usually have a research team to study the latest devices and technologies.

Among these companies, Autodesk did all the things they could do for 3D printing. The Toronto company has a large number of 3D printers and has been developing technology related to it. Autodesk released its Pier 9 workshop in San Francisco in 2013, which takes research to a new level.

YouTube's tech blogger Tom Scott recently visited Pier 9, and he introduced Autodesk's usual work in the video. This robot that can 3D print stainless steel, Tom has been fortunate enough to sneak a sneak peek. Although we are already used to working with robots in the factory, this development of Autodesk is unprecedented.

Maurice ConTI, director of application research and innovation at Autodesk, said: "There are two robot programming problems: the traditional way is that you need to tell exactly what you have to do, and the robot may think there is no change."

So, if you want to use these robots to safely and simply 3D print stainless steel, you have to face many problems. First of all, their working environment is very dangerous and people are vulnerable.

Recently, the robotics team wanted to develop a closed loop feedback system, which means that robots can have the awareness of conventional manufacturing and 3D printing manufacturing. For example, the material in the 3D printer is blocked, and the robot stops printing through the visual sensing system.

Senior research engineer Heather Kerrick said: "The normal 3D printer is 2.5D, with horizontal and vertical. The robot can arrive from different directions, not only need to know where it is, but also know when it arrives, the software recognizes the geometry we give and then Control robot printing."

Finally, Autodesk is driving the growth of technology while making money.

Incremental Encoder

Motion Control Sensor is an original part that converts the change of non-electricity (such as speed, pressure) into electric quantity. According to the converted non-electricity, it can be divided into pressure sensor, speed sensor, temperature sensor, etc. It is a measurement, control instrument and Parts and accessories of equipment.
