This makes it ideal for high-speed printing while maintaining top-notch material processing quality. It is built to provide high throughput and temperature for processing a wide range of engineering polymers and composites. Its melt chamber with thermally controlled sections allows for process monitoring and ensures that material properties are maintained during printing, drastically reducing print times.

An intuitive interface for controlling the robot is key, which is why the new KUKA smartPAD is equipped with a super high-resolution, anti-reflective touchscreen. This shows how to operate the robot intuitively and with maximum effect. The intelligent interactive dialog box clearly shows the various processes to the user and only provides the controls that are needed at any given time. The aim is to focus the user's attention on the most important factors so that they can work intuitively, simply, quickly and efficiently, thereby truly achieving comprehensive intelligence.

Robotic 3D printing, also known as robotic additive manufacturing, combines a 3D print head that extrudes materials with a multi-axis robotic arm. This creates a much more flexible 3D printer than conventional models. Due to its large range of motion, the robotic arm is increasingly used for large projects such as mold making, large-scale prototypes, artistic sculptures, architectural elements, furniture, and even rockets. This opens up a whole new world of design freedom in 3D printing. The arm can print from virtually any angle, allowing for the creation of extremely complex, curved geometries.
