Discipline 08 of 09

From fileto physical part

Backed by the 3D printing studio of the Robo 3D ecosystemwe turn digital designs into real partswith FDM and resin printing and careful finishing

What we engineer

Advanced Manufacturingin practice

What RoboFab engineers in Advanced Manufacturing

  1. 01

    Professional 3D printing

    FDM printing in engineering materials for strong functional parts

  2. 02

    Resin printing

    High detail resin parts for fine features and smooth surfaces and small mechanisms

  3. 03

    Rapid prototyping

    Fast iterations so designs are tested and improved in days instead of weeks

  4. 04

    Custom fabrication

    Single parts and fixtures and short production runs made to specification

  5. 05

    Finishing and assembly

    Support removal and post processing and assembly into complete products

  6. 06

    Design for manufacturing

    Parts adapted for strength and printability and efficient production
