3D Printing Robots

3D printing robots use six-axis industrial arms to deposit concrete, polymers, composites or metal across large and complex geometries. Their multidirectional movement and flexible working envelope make them relevant to construction, architecture, furniture production, formwork, large-scale components and metal additive manufacturing.

This category examines real robotic 3D printing systems, projects and technical limitations, including ABB, KUKA and FANUC platforms, concrete extrusion, large-format fabrication, hybrid additive-subtractive cells and the transition from prototype to repeatable production.
