Triple 3D Printing Production With Collaborative Robots

Problem

Voodoo Manufacturing in Brooklyn, New York, were scaling up rapidly. They needed to automate the manual loading and unloading of plates in their 3D printers. They needed an easily programmable robot arm that also offered simple integration with a robot gripper as the end-of-arm tool.

Solution

They chose Universal Robots’ UR10 as it offered a seamless interface with a 2-Finger Gripper from Robotiq. With the robot running overnight, the startup tripled its printing production, expecting to reach ROI within 6 months, and now plans on many other automation projects.
