3D printer manufacturer Roboze has announced the launch of an industrial automation system for the production of customized 3D printed parts made with polymers and composites.
Named Roboze Automate, the new platform has been developed in collaboration with B&R, an Austrian automation and process control technology company. It aims to be used as a metals replacement solution in the production workflow and combines the manufacturer’s polymer platform technology, PEEK with a PLC industrial automation system.
The manufacturer explains in a press communication that its new system streamlines the entire workflow. Due to its advanced sensors and remote control and diagnosis capabilities, operators would be enable to monitor results and reporting data during all phases of the process.
Roboze ensures that with Roboze Automate, predictive maintenance is built-in through automatic remote updates of new features and software parameters.
The new system would address the inconsistencies operators encounter in parts production; inconsistencies that are the results of variables ranging from human error and material quality to temperature fluctuations and sensor quality, which in the end often jeopardize the perception of 3D printing as an industrial production process.
Roboze Automate will be available to all new ARGO 500 Additive Production Systems to allow customers to produce and certify every printed component, efficiently creating controlled yet customized batches of up to 3000 parts in one machine.
“As the need for strong, resilient infrastructure in the U.S. and around the world continues to climb, we are bringing 3D manufacturing to a new level of consistency, repeatability, and process control and production speed,” said Roboze CEO Alessio Lorusso. “Our components-as-a service approach is upending error-ridden manufacturing fluctuations and materials shortages to support true industrial-scale 3D manufacturing.”
