Additive manufacturing and robots both enable manufacturing, but they also enable one another. Not only can cobots and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) tend print farms and industrial robots serve as a platform for large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) systems, users can flip the equation to 3D print end effectors and other peripherals for their robots. In this episode of Additive Manufacturing Media’s AM Radio podcast, Gardner Business Media Robots & Autonomy Editor Julia Hider joins Additive Manufacturing’s Executive Editor Stephanie Hendrixson and Editor-in-Chief Peter Zelinski to dive into examples of how 3D printing facilitates robotics, and how robotics facilitates 3D printing.
