Prototyping: fully functional 3D printed robotic arm

ABS application

In record time – only 5 days of printing, 3DGence engineers built a 120 kg robotic arm with great repeatability of movement. It has six degrees of freedom and can easily manipulate other objects.

The robotic arm is made of 3D printed parts that snap together. The elements requiring high durability are made of ABS, the casing is made of PLA, which allowed to speed up the 3D printing process. 

Six industrial 3D printers – INDUSTRY F340 were used to built this robotic arm.

A strong advantage of 3D printing is that you can create prototypes very quickly. It only took us 5 days to built a 120 kg robotic arm. We wanted to test the abilities of the 3DGence 3D printers and I can confirm, that we gave a proof of usability of the FDM technology in the prototyping process
