3D Printing in the Robotics Industry

3D printing is increasingly being used in the robotics industry due to its ability to produce organic, complex, and efficient additive parts. It offers endless possibilities regarding geometries that may not be possible with machining or molding and has a broad material selection of plastics and metals. Additive manufacturing also allows for multi-part assemblies to be combined into a single design, saving production dollars.
