Cooperation between KUKA and Mark3D

Haiger, August 9, 2023. The use of robots and industrial 3D printers is increasingly revolutionizing the production landscape.

And in particular, the combination of the two technologies offers fascinating possibilities for users in industry and mechanical engineering.

In collaboration with KUKA We present to users precisely these potentials of robotics and 3D printing, which can save time and especially costs.

✅ Robots that load and unload a 3D printer
✅ 3D printed robot grippers
✅ Individual parts and spare parts
✅ Optimization of existing systems
✅ and much more

Thanks to their continuous carbon fiber reinforcement, the industrial Markforged 3D printers are ideal for producing grippers that can withstand mechanical stress.

For an experiment, we attached a gripper from OnRobot to a KUKA iiQKA Education Kit with an LBR iisy 3 and put it into operation. 
The gripper jaws designed and printed by Jan Geese from Mark3D GmbH fit right away.

The first results can already be seen on the all about automation discovered in Wetzlar in September.
