Overview

Robotic additive manufacturing system developed for ITFab, combining industrial robotics, custom extrusion and integrated motion control.

Objective

Design a robotic 3D printing system capable of synchronizing multi-axis motion with controlled material deposition.

System

A KUKA KR90 HA robot is configured for large-scale additive manufacturing, integrated with a Beckhoff servo drive architecture and a custom extrusion system.
All components operate within a unified control framework coordinating motion and material flow.

Execution

Motion and extrusion processes are synchronized in real time, ensuring stable deposition and consistent workflow across complex trajectories.

Technology

  • KUKA KR90 HA robotic system
  • Beckhoff-based servo control architecture
  • Custom extrusion system with real-time control
  • Integrated software for motion and deposition coordination

Result

A robotic additive manufacturing system where motion control and material deposition operate as a single process, enabling precise and reliable large-scale 3D printing.
