3D Printing for Robotics & Automation Companies

SLS prints support-free grippers and manifolds with complex internal channels; SLM produces lightweight metal brackets ready for strength testing; FDM (including PEEK) covers durable fixtures; CNC takes over production once a design is validated.

Robotics & Automation Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SLS parts handle continuous industrial use?

PA12 and carbon-fiber-nylon material offer solid fatigue strength and wear resistance, and are already used in continuously-running grippers, ducting and clip fittings.

How much weight reduction is realistic for metal structural parts?

With lattice or topology-optimized design, 30–50% weight reduction is common — the exact figure depends on load and stiffness requirements.

How fast can you go from CAD to a working gripper prototype?

Standard-size SLS/FDM functional parts can ship as a working prototype within 48 hours.

Do you support small-batch production runs of 10–100 units?

Yes — that batch range is exactly where SLS/SLM has the strongest cost advantage over injection-mold tooling.
