Robots themselves can act as 3D printers, expanding the scope of additive manufacturing. In large-scale 3D printing, robotic arms can deposit materials layer by layer to create objects, enabling the ...

Then there's additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer manufacturing (ALM), which is all about 3D printing. It is a computer-controlled process to deposit materials, usually in layers, to create ...

Additive Manufacturing has come a long way since Dr. Hideo Kodama first introduced the idea of printing via layers versus injection molding in 1981. Since then, there has been a steady stream of ...

Sponsored Article Fast, cost-effective robotic 3D printing is gaining ground. 09 December 2024. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is set to grow rapidly as it continues its transition from a ...

With the advent of concrete additive manufacturing in construction (AMC), three new challenges have arisen in planning, automatizing, and controlling 3D printing processes and systems. Firstly, most ...
