Additive Manufacturing Using Robotic Programming

Abstract

Due to the development of industrial 5.0 concepts, the integration of multi-disciplinary concepts is evolving in the manufacturing industries. In this chapter, the integration of robot technology with additive manufacturing processes is discussed to improve the processes for making complex objects. A case study has been used to explain two-phase and multi-plane three-dimensional printing using industrial robots. Using previous research activities, a brief literature on 3D printing technology, parameters, and applications has been developed. The case study on the aerofoil wing made by industrial robotics programming has been explained. The flow chart that can exhibit both three phase and multi-plane processes has been illustrated.
