Jakarta, INTI - This article explores the rapidly growing field of robotic 3D manufacturing, highlighting its advantages in flexibility, reach, and efficiency over traditional methods.
Robotic additive manufacturing (AM) has taken significant strides in recent years. Technologies like robotic laser cladding, binder jetting, and laser hot-wire AM processes are making waves, particularly when combined with established welding techniques.
One such technique is robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), which utilizes a robot equipped with a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) torch to melt wire into successive weld beads, building a freeform 3D shape layer by layer. Companies like Lincoln Electric are at the forefront of this technology, producing large metal parts for various industries.

Robotic 3D Cutting
Robotic systems are not limited to additive manufacturing. They are also making their mark in 3D cutting applications. Companies like I-Cubed Industry Innovators Inc. leverage robots for various cutting tasks, including:
Robotic 3D cutting involves complex programing to coordinate robot movements and part positioners. Offline programming (OLP) software eliminates the need for tedious point-by-point robot programming, streamlining the process.
The laborious process of composite layup, which involves stacking layers of carbon fiber prepreg material onto a mold, is being revolutionized by robotic automation. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) are developing human-robot collaborative cells to automate this process. These cells utilize robots and AI to handle sheet layup while human workers provide assistance in areas requiring dexterity or complex geometries.
Advantages of Robotic Layup
Robotic 3D manufacturing is rapidly transforming various industries. With its unmatched flexibility, robots are well-suited for the growing demand for customization and complex part geometries. As software, AI, and sensor technologies continue to advance, robotic 3D manufacturing is poised to revolutionize the future of production.*Hans
