Problem
Current large-format 3D printing solutions often suffer from slow production times and high costs, limiting their accessibility for both large and small-scale manufacturing. Traditional 3D printing systems also lack the flexibility to adapt to varying project sizes and complexities efficiently.
Solution
AMBOTS Inc. offers a cooperative 3D printing system that utilizes multiple autonomous mobile robots to collaboratively print and assemble products based on digital models. The AMBOTS C1 system enables faster production of both large and small-scale items through automated task division among the robots. This approach offers an adaptive build volume, allowing the system to handle massive monolithic parts or multiple smaller parts simultaneously. The automated distribution of tasks simplifies the printing process, making cooperative printing as easy as single-printer operation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers and businesses requiring large-format 3D printing capabilities, as well as those seeking to optimize production speed and reduce costs in additive manufacturing processes.
Features
- Cooperative 3D printing: Multiple printers collaborate on a single print job.
- Adaptive build volume: Adjusts to accommodate different project sizes.
- Automated task division: Automatically distributes work among printers.
- Simultaneous printing: Printers can work on multiple print jobs concurrently.
- Integrated sensors: Detect filament runout, layer shifts, motor failures, and power outages.
- Cost-effective: Lower cost per volume compared to other large-format 3D printers.
