Watch two 3D printed BattleBots go toe to toe in this 3:30 video!<\/p>\n
Both of these BattleBots were created with Markforged technology. The stealth jet inspired Valkyrie sports a vicious 65 pound spinning blade weapon that can reach 250mph, and in this video battles Quantum, a crushing robot with a bite force of more than 15,000kg designed in the UK by Robo Challenge.<\/p>\n
Both teams used 3D printed parts extensively in their designs; team Valkyrie creating composite jigs, component casings and structural elements, and even using the Markforged Metal X to print the complex geometry of their front armour bracket. Team Quantum have similarly used Markforged carbon fibre reinforced 3D printed composite parts; drastically increasing the survivability of their robot by replacing aluminium ribs that were prone to snapping with stronger, more flexible composites.<\/p>\n
