This 3D printed BattleBot is Quantum – created by the same team behind Robot Wars, this is a super high power crushing jaw robot with 30,000 lbs of force behind it’s teeth.<\/p>\n

Team Quantum have made excellent use of Markforged 3D printers, replacing critical structural components of their battle robot that used to be made of aluminium with 3D printed composites. Once such component is Quantum’s collarbones, which are designed to stop the robot from crumpling when it is flipped or subjected to extreme destructive forces in the arena. <\/p>\n

Originally these were manufactured with expensive aluminium, but by using Markforged’s carbon fibre reinforcement technology they were able to create new collarbones that are lighter, stronger, and cheaper than aluminium. <\/p>\n
